Hello,
Read about the Dell eDellRoot Certificate vulnerability problem.
Also, a second similar one/problem, apparently.
Really hard for me to go thru All the steps that have been posted to remove it.
Have a bit of trouble even using the basic stuff now, at my age.
Any idea when they will issue a simple one or two click "Patch" to fix it, like I believe they said they would ?
Is it available now ? Where ?
Thanks,
Bob
You can find it here.
Dell admits installing security hole on laptops, apologizes,offers fix - Windows 10 ForumsFor those who don’t want to use the pushed patch, instructions for removing eDellRoot manually is a 17-step process that takes up 11 Word document pages, including screenshots. The patch - Click Here – can also be downloaded.
Unfortunately after you fix that there's yet another issue to deal with....

Hi,
The Patch you suggested worked well, and fast.
Sure a lot easier than following 17 steps !
Any idea when the new Patch for the new problem will be available ?
Will it be posted here ? Where ?
Thanks again for all the help,
Bob
Glad you got it sorted.
As soon as a patch is available for the second problem, I or someone will post it. There is a fix for the second problem available now, but thus far it involves manually removing it. Have a look at this article if you want to give it a try.
