How do I install the certificate for my locally running https site to make it not hurt?

When installing a certificate in Windows 10 by just double-clicking a .crt file, you will eventually come to a crossroads wherein there are radio buttons for "Automatically select the certificate store based on the type of certificate" and "Place all certificates in the following store" and herein you will want to pick "Place all certificates in the following store" and then browse to find "Trusted Root Certificate Authorities" which in turn will allow you to browse to some locally running https site in peace without blockage. Also, it may help to add the site being trusted to Trusted sites at the Sites button under Trusted sites at the Security tab of the dialog box that one gets after clicking "Internet Options" after clicking "Network and Internet" at the control panel.
