When certificate rules are enabled, software restriction policies will check a certificate revocation list (CRL) to make sure the softwares certificate and signature are valid. This may decrease performance when start signed programs. You can disable this feature. On Trusted Publishers Properties, clear the Publisher and Timestamp check boxes.
