How to persistently add a self-signed certificate to update service help from Visual Studio?

I have a self-signed certificate that I use in my Azure-WCF-WebRole project. Somehow I could just click the Update Service Reference , and the local service user just correctly updated the links.

My VM was probably re-created sometime, and since then I can no longer do this (with the error message There was an error downloading 'https://....svc/$metadata'. .. Googling around told me to run Fiddler , decrypt HTTPS , and then I can succeed.

It works, but only when running Fiddler . After closing, the Update Service Reference stops working.

I have added the certificate to my Trusted Root Certification Authorities , but the problem remains.

How can I constantly add a certificate, so I do not need to run Fiddler every time I want to update a service link in Visual Studio (2015, FWIW)?
