You can get all certificates using PowerShell by using the Get-ChildItem cmdlet along with the Cert: drive. This command will list all certificates in the Current User store:
Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:\CurrentUser\ -Recurse
If you want to include the Local Machine store as well, you can use the following command:
Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:\LocalMachine\ -Recurse
This command will display all certificates in both the Current User and Local Machine stores. You can also filter the results based on certificate properties like subject, issuer, expiration date, etc. by using the Where-Object cmdlet.
