I am using a self-signed certificate which is working fine when using Chrome or Edge. Both browsers show that the connection is secure and that the certificate is valid.

An application using the WinInet-API to access the same website, however, fails with ERROR_INTERNET_SEC_CERT_REVOKED (12170) and the error message:

The security certificate for this site has been revoked. This site should not be trusted.

When checking the certificate using certutil (as shown here: How do I check if my SSL certificates have been revoked ), the certificate is being shown as revoked:

Also, when using the IE-mode of Edge, a certificate error is shown:

Translation:

What could be the reason that the certificate is only revoked when using the IE mode, but neither Chrome nor Edge show it as revoked?

I have seen a similar issue being discussed here ( FireFox detects Revoked Certificate, IE does not ), but in my case, it's basically the opposite with only IE showing the certificate as being revoked.
