Certificates problem suddenly causing almost all internet access to fail

[Gamely Lounges]

Hi all,

Surface 2 received some updates.

Seems to have broken something with website certificates.
I've noticed 3 affects:
- many (most?) websites are no longer accessible because I get security warnings due to suspicious certificates
- my email accounts are broken - because the certificates make the email sites look suspicious
- Nextgen reader won't refresh my RSS feeds list (my google account is inaccessible and feedly relies on my google account)

anyone else experience anything like this and solve it?

My S2 ran out of battery last night so I can't attach screenshots or give exact errors but I will try to update this thread with those specifics later when I've got it charged / powered.

Thanks
Sam

Chintan you were right. Somehow my clock was set to the year 2127.
I fixed the clock and now I can use the internet again.
PHEW!
Thanks
