This is still an issue. Serious one. People are unable to just remove this certificate as it is needed for everyday use.

It is reasonable that application does not deal with invalid certificates. 
I can understand application to breaks if one tries to use invalid certificate. 

But this is not that case. Application breaks on just enumerating certificates even if it does not need it at all.

It is advisable for application just to skip and ignore invalid certificate unless it is required for application to work.

Please reconsider action on this issue to prevent application breaking when it is not necessary.
