This powershell script generates a new certificate, removes the old certificate assignments from the IISExpress ssl ports and adds the newly generated one. The certificate is also copied over to the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities.
$cert = New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName "localhost", "localhost" -CertStoreLocation "cert:\LocalMachine\My" -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(5)
$thumb = $cert.GetCertHashString()

🙏 Thank you!

Had a legacy project to deal with and tripped over this, problem, your script worked like a charm. Found the gist via https://steffbeckers.eu/blog/iis-express-localhost-ssl-certificate-reset which also has a useful minimum test project at https://github.com/steffbeckers/iis-express-ssl-reset-test
