I notice that this issue doesn't contain actual problem statement; Adam only 
reported what he did and what happened, but not what should have happened 
instead.

I personally don't think that the problem stated in the title 
("ssl.enum_certificates() will not return all certificates trusted by Windows") 
is a bug - this is correct behavior. It would be unreasonable to expect that 
enum_certificates() triggers a download of the entire MS root list, when 
Microsoft has established as a policy that download should be on demand, 
triggered by verification.

What I would agree *is* a bug is that the certificate verification fails; it 
should trigger the root download, as is platform convention (hopefully then 
also conforming to the group policy setting where you can disable root 
certificate download).

Please leave out unrelated bugs (e.g. a failure to fetch certain certificate 
attributes) from this bug report. Report them separately instead.
