     • Name: ChainUrlRetrievalTimeoutMilliseconds
       Location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\OID\EncodingType 0\CertDllCreateCertificateChainEngine\Config
       Type: REG_DWORD
• Decreasing the amount of time to allow CRL retrieval can significantly improve performance when internet access is poor or non-existent. Setting the value to 200 decimal (milliseconds) may be a reasonable timeout.
• Name: ChainRevAccumulativeUrlRetrievalTimeoutMilliseconds
  Location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\OID\EncodingType 0\CertDllCreateCertificateChainEngine\Config
  Type: REG_DWORD
  • Decreasing the amount of time to allow all CRL retrievals can significantly improve performance when internet access is poor or non-existent. Setting the value to 500 (milliseconds) may be a reasonable timeout.
