The certificate cannot be pasted into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store. Access is denied

Viewed 736

I am trying to run a C# application configured to use SSL in Visual Studio. When running the application, I am prompted to generate and trust a self-signed certificate that ASP.NET has generated.

Trust ASP.NET Core SSL Certitificate

When accepting, I am greeted with an error stating that there was an issue trusting the certificate.

Failed trusting the certificate

Upon closer inspection, I can see that the certificate was generated successfully in my personal certificates for my Current User, but it was not applied to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities.

Current User Personal Certificates

When trying to manually copy the certificate into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities, I am presented Access is Denied.

Access is denied.

I've battled this and have been unable to pass this roadblock. If anyone has any idea as to why I cannot trust this particular ASP.NET certificate, please share.
