H, a little additional information which only deepens this. I looked into the Intended Purposes of the PFX Cert file a little more.

 

1) When I click "VIEW" on the Certificate (via edge://settings/privacy)...scroll to Enhanced Key Usage..., I see only Server Authentication.

 

However, if I click Edit Properties on any field in the list...the Certificate Properties is set to "Enable all purposes...."

3) So not sure why the discrepancy and how to get the enabled Code Signing and Time Stamping, as they are checked in the second image, into the Enhanced Key Usage property (where only Server Authentication is listed). Thank you so much for reading and for your consideration.
