BOIN 7.6.33 64 bit installed a service.
Windows 10 Pro 10.0.14393

When I power up this PC and logon, sometimes I get the Windows 10 UAC box regarding BOINC making changes to my system. I have not yet tracked down what might be changing in the BOINC system to cause this, and cannot find an event in the Windows event log.

When I inspect the certificate for the exe involved (from the UAC box), it shows as expired on 14 Jan 2017. PC has the correct time/date (locale Australia). I presume Windows 10 is complaining about this.

This never happens on my Windows 7 box.

Is there a way to update the cert? Or is there something else I should look at. I have downloaded and installed the latest version of BOINC.

The ca-bundle.crt file in 7.6.33 expires on 2018/08/13.
On my Windows 10 notebook (also Version 10.0.14393) I'm not getting and messages about expired certs.
I do not have BOINC installed as a service,but I don't believe that should matter... unless it does.

The GTE Cybertrust Global Root certificate in the bundle is installed on my PC. I presume the install does this.

But all the BOINC EXEs with certification have the same COMODO cert, which is valid from 14 Jan 2015 to 14 Jan 2017.

I'll do a little more checking...

The message is not about the expired cert as such. It's the User Account Control box which, for example, pops up when you run a program "as Administrator".

The UAC box has informational links, and the certificate information is accessed via one of them.

What I think happens here is this: when you install BOINC as a service, it runs with its own limited user account . Running extra as administrator will give problems here, as BOINC then tries to run the privileged account in elevated form, which Windows won't allow.
