I require to use some unsigned drivers on a Windows 7 x64 system. I Googled around and found a post which says to use bcdedit and switch test mode on and then to disable integrity check. But it did not work So now, to use those drivers I need to press F8 each time I boot and then Select Disable Driver Signing Enforcement. So, is there any way to stop the check?.
Saturday, January 9th, 2010 (16 comments) So here's the deal (my theory anyway Microsoft is trying to make their system more stable and secure, but to do that, they have to have some standards of quality for drivers used on the system. That's good in theory, but the problem is that the only realistic way of doing that means that Microsoft makes companies pay them to certify and then sign their drivers. While I can't argue with the theory, the practice is that some of your favorite software and still usable hardware won't work and that's not cool. Even worse, sometimes you won't know what's wrong. There's no indication of what's wrong, just that your hardware or software isn't loading right. However, there's a trick to make Windows stop forcing drivers to be signed. Before giving up, try this trick. When booting, press the F8 function key a few times until you see this boot menu: If you have ever loaded Safe Mode in any version of Windows before, this should look familiar. In fact, Safe Mode is one of the options, but in this case, the one you're looking for is a new option near the bottom called Disable Driver Signature Enforcement Use the arrow keys to highlight it and then press the ENTER key. Windows will load like normal, but now it won't require Microsoft approved drivers. Making it Easy So that ends the portion of this post that sounds like every other site online that tells you the same thing. The one thing that they're all missing is this: it's very easy to start booting your computer and turn to check a phone or pick up something off the floor and miss the timing for hitting the F8 key. If you do, the computer will boot and you'll have to restart it and try again (which is very annoying!). So here's a trick for delaying the boot long enough for you to click the button. Step 1: Download Easy BCD First, download Easy BCD from here. Easy BCD is a program that.
for those of you who want to bypass the security dialog which occurs when installing non- MS- WHQL-signed drivers on Windows 7 64 Bit (and Windows 8, 8.1) there was only a single solution for me that worked for scripted, automated, unattended or silent installations: import the certificates prior to install Follow these steps: 1. install the software once manually by confirming that the unsigned drivers shall be used 2. go to %windir%\inf and search for the latest OEM?. INF file; open it (notepad) and verify by its contents that this is the driver you wish to install automatically next time 3. go to %windir%\system32\catroot\ any ID \ OEM?. CAT (<- same number as in step 2 right click on this file, select properties, go to Digital Signatures tab, mark the certificate, click on details 4. on the next window click Show Certificate 5. on the next window open the Details tab and click Save to File. 6. collect this/all certificates 7. deploy these certificates 7.1 either in a batch /cmd script using certutil.exe -f -addstore Trusted Publisher MYFILE.cer prior to setup 7.2 or by Group Policies (computer \ Policies \ Windows \ Security \ Public Key Policies \ add your files here ) 8. run your setup just the way you wanted : D Note: I was not able to bypass windows driver signature checks on Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise x64 using - Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON - Bcdedit.exe /set testsigning ON - Bcdedit.exe /set loadoptions DDISABLE_ INTEGRITY_ CHECKS - Group Policy / Users / Settings / Administrative Templates / System / Drivers / Signature = ignore - Application Compatibility ( Application Compatibility Toolkit Setup.exe ) set No Signature Check, Export DB, sdbinst -q \path\dbfile.sdb).
