| **Manual Upload of Trusted Root Certificates due to Microsoft End-of-support for Windows Embedded 2009** | <p>In light of Microsoft’s end of support for Windows Embedded 2009, you must now update the list of Trusted Root Certificates manually on the endpoint in order to enable the Traps agent to communicate with the Cortex XDR server. This applies to any Traps 5.0.X installation or upgrade from an agent that previously communicated with TMS/ESM on endpoints running Windows Vista or a previous release.</p><p>1. On an endpoint that is connected to the internet and running Windows 7 or a later release, go to Control panel → Administrative Tools → <strong>Manage Computer Certificates</strong>.</p><p>2. Select <strong>Trusted Root Certificates</strong>. Go to Trusted Root Certification Authorities → <strong>Certificates</strong>.</p><p>3. Select all items on the list, right-click and select All Tasks → <strong>Export</strong>. Save the <code>PFX</code> file.</p><p>4. On the endpoint running Windows Vista or a previous release where you want to install / upgrade the Traps 5.0.X agent, copy the <code>PFX</code> file, right-click, and install.</p><p>5. Now you can install / upgrade the Traps agent on the endpoint.</p> |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/5.0/traps-agent-release/changes-to-default-behavior.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
