title: Extend certificate expired date for windows app
body: <p>How to extend the expiry date of windows app certificate? We're side loading the app/ The main obstacle is the certificate expires every year which is a bothersome to renew it through GP cause we already have issues in our environment. We would like to extend it for at least 5 years. </p>
  
  <p>I have managed to find technet articles on how to create a code signing certificate but it didnt work. Visual studio doesnt accept the certificate and gives an error message that it is corrupted or invalid.
