Nope. Your system is not up to date or something else is wrong at your site.

You are entirely correct, of course. I apologize for wasting your time. Perhaps I should feel bad enough about this to set aside some time for constructive contribution to gpg development one of these days. :-/

As I said upthread, this was an indirect report—and I don’t have Microsoft Windows to test it myself. After I walked through this with the inexpert remote user in detail and they provided me a ton of screenshots, there emerged a situation with multiple layers of unusual misunderstanding that I didn’t expect.

When I saw the expired date on the cert on gpg4win.org’s verification instructions page, I thought the expired cert problem the user expressed to me must be correct—whoops! The user is not to blame; they are a newbie earnestly trying to DTRT without knowing how. This is my fault.

I had to drop everything 2025-10-17 due to unusual events in the U.S., and couldn’t process list mail or catch up until now. I think I do need to post this “my faulty report, not GnuPG’s problem” notice.
