Microsoft asks Windows 11 users to ignore yet another error message

In recent months, Microsoft has urged users to ignore certain error messages that weren’t what they seemed, most notably back in April with WinRE error code 0x80070643 as well as in July with Windows Firewall error messages in Event Viewer.

It hasn’t even been that long, but we’re back with another call from Microsoft to ignore yet another error message, reports BleepingComputer. Specifically, Microsoft says users may be seeing incorrect CertificateServicesClient (CertEnroll) errors after intalling the optional July 2025 update or subsequent updates.

The error message in question is shown as Error ID 57 in Event Viewer and the text reads: “The ‘Microsoft Pluton Cryptographic Provider’ provider was not loaded because initialization failed.” Microsoft provides a note in its Windows Release Health support document:

“Following installation of the July 2025 Windows non-security preview update (KB5062660) and later updates including the August 2025 Windows security update, Event Viewer may display an error related to CertificateServicesClient (CertEnroll) which can be safely ignored.

Please note that although this event is logged in Event Viewer every time the device is restarted, it does not reflect an issue with any active Windows component. This event is related to a feature that is currently under active development. There is no impact to Windows processes associated to this event and no action is required to prevent or resolve this error.”

Error ID 57 is due to a bug and has no impact for end users, so you do not need to take any action and can safely ignore the message.
