To get the real error, you probably need to call GetLastError() (
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/wincrypt/nf-wincrypt-certopenstore#return-value
).
In principle, Go code should behave the same as C++ code, but
syscall.CertOpenStore is a wrapper which doesn't seem to use GetLastError()
as the doc requests and we can only guess what the C++ code you refer to
does (as CertOpenStore itself doesn't return an error code).
