Accessing Windows Certificate Store certs via Java?

java windows x509certificate certificate-store

I'm looking to write something that can enumerate and use (to sign) certificates in CurrentUser/My and LocalMachine/My, but I haven't been able to find anything for the Windows cert store, only Java's own secret store. This link looks promising, but I can only use what ships with Java.

I found this question asked on SO before, but it's from five years ago, which is a long time in computer years. Thanks!

Start Java with -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=WINDOWS-ROOT.
