Add missing -ProtectPrivateKey parameter to Import-PfxCertificate documentation
PR Summary
Add missing -ProtectPrivateKey parameter to the Import-PfxCertificate cmdlet documentation.
Parameter functionality is synonymous with the import option "Protect private key using virtualized-based security(Non-exportable)" in the Certificate Import Wizard:
Functionality of the option is explained by Crypt32 (Vadims Podans), creator of PSPKI: https://security.stackexchange.com/a/186523/268642
Explanation for enum option vsm is hinted in the documentation for Virtualization-based Security (VBS).
Virtual Secure Mode (VSM) capabilities were introduced in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016, that is why the update only ranges until there.
