How to extend or create a new a cer certificate for package signing or re-signing UWP for sideloading?

How to extend or create a new a cer certificate for package signing or re-signing UWP  for sideloading?

How-I-fixed-it?
  1.  Lookup the CN (Publisher Name) from the old certificate (the new one needs to have the same CN) 
  2. Command window in current dirctory of the appx
  3. 1. Create a new certificate to self-sign you UWP app using the MakeCert in the Windows Kits SDK, e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.18362.0\x64\MakeCert" /n CN=YOUR_PUBLISHER_NAME  /r /h 0 /eku "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.3,1.3.6.1.4.1.311.10.3.13" /e "12/31/2100" /sv Test.pvk Test.cer
  4. Convert the certificate to pfx format (using the password you entered when promted by the signtool), e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.18362.0\x64\Pvk2Pfx" /pvk  Test.pvk /pi "pwd" /spc Test.cer /pfx Test.pfx /po "pwd"
  5. Sign the appx, e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.18362.0\x64\SignTool.exe" sign /fd sha256 /f "Test.pfx" /p pwd "FULL_PATH_TO_MY.appx"

•- DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

How to make an andorid phone kid safe / Android-Handy kindersicher machen

I was looking for an app to make my kids' android phone more kid safe and restrict internet and app access.

How-i-fixed it:
I found the great free app "Kids place" on google marketplace.
I allows to define a PIN number for administratration and lets you select the apps the kids see on their home screen. It also lets you configure the internet access. I re-routes the home button to the Kids Place home screen and also can be configured to Auto-Start.

I found the right hint to this great app here:
