Dumb question alert; can these certs be repurposed to sign windows binaries for running locally?

Depending on the environment, windows can be set to prohibit executing anything that isn't signed....which is annoying on a dev machine building windows executables.

Even if not explicitly set that way, I found that windows security can intermittently end up blocking unsigned stuff, which if anything is even more annoying than a consistent rule. Had this problem when trying to make a python gui executable.
