Digital certificates are files that contain personal information, such as data or access credentials. In Windows 10 it is common that we have installed several digital certificates over time. When we do this, they are installed in a secure section within this operating system, for when it has to be used. In many cases we do not know how many we have installed.
Therefore, you may have an interest at a certain time in know what digital certificates you have installed in Windows 10. It is possible to check this in a way that is not complicated, as we are going to show you below. So, you can find the digital certificate on your computer.

Steps to view installed digital certificates in Windows are:
- Open Cortana to search for a file by name.
- Write certlm.msc in the search bar.
- Click on the result and the certificate manager will open.
In this certificate manager in Windows 10 you can see them all, also delete a certificate if you want. So if you need to manage something in this case, you will have no problems and you can do everything directly in it.
The normal thing is that you have the certificates that you use inside the folder Our Team but, as we indicated, you can consult others of a different category.

Hello. Can I launch that command remotely on a computer and retrieve the information from the personal folder?
Perhaps with Powershell?
My goal is to check what digital certificates are distributed by the teams.
You could do this through the Windows Remote Desktop feature, available in Windows 10 Pro.
