Hi All,

I am trying to use X509 package with Window Certificate store.

It looks like the X509/SystemCertPool implementation on Windows just returns an empty cert pool.

In the older golang versions, this API used to be blocked on Windows specifically. But that restriction got removed.

I am trying to understand the expected behavior. Am I missing something or there is some other way of using this API?

Go 1.18 uses the Windows platform APIs to verify certificates (as proposed in https://go.dev/issue/46287).
