Microsoft has resolved a known issue leading to missing system and user certificates after updating managed Windows 10 systems using outdated installation media.
The lost Windows 10 certificates issue impacts client and server platforms in managed environments.
The lost Windows 10 certificates issue is now resolved "When using the latest feature update bundles that were released November 9, 2020, for Windows Server Update Services and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager" according to Microsoft.
Refreshed media to address this issue is not yet available for Windows 10 20H2 on Volume Licensing Service Center and Visual Studio Subscriptions, Microsoft says it will be made available during the following weeks.
