Disable Driver Signing in Windows 7 x64 Maybe x86 Even.
Well, if you are like me than you have encountered a new “feature” of windows. They call this driver signatures. It is meant to ensure quality drivers are made for all hardware. However, it cost big bucks to get your driver signed. Worst of all, whenever a new release comes out that driver must be signed as well. No matter how big or small the change stupid Microsoft says “Hey, pay me some money this is different.”
So how can the average Joe get around these moronic rules set in place?
Simple, just take my advice here and you can begin installing unsigned drivers in windows 7 quickly.
If you break something, oh well you can always roll back the changes. At worst just format. But chances are, you will not have any problems with those unsigned drivers. For me I needed unsigned drivers for the xbcd or xbox 360 controller. They have a signed copy now of course, but before they had driver signing I had to do this. A new one that came up is DroidCam. It requires you to do this little trick. But without further ado, this is what you must do.
First things first: Windows key + R, or Start –> Run –> CMD *make sure you run the command console as administrator or it will laugh at you.*
Now, copy and paste, or simply type in this
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
Now press your enter key and it will say something.
Next, type in this
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
Ok, now it says some more worthless information. But if all worked correctly you can now install any unsigned drivers in windows 7 64
If you find that it doesn’t work or you just are unhappy with what you did don’t sweat, you can remove the damage you have just done with loadoptions using bcedit and turning bcdedit to turn the testsigning off.
**restore it back to normal with this**
Windows key + R, or Start –> Run –> CMD *make sure you run the command console as administrator or it will laugh at you.*
Now, copy and paste, or simply type in this
bcdedit /deletevalue loadoptions
It will reply with some message blah blah blah very good….
Now put in this
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF
Boom! You are all set. Driver test signing is turned back on. See that wasn’t so hard. If you decide to keep the driver signing enforcement off and tell all of your friends, it will really make Microsoft rethink their shiesterish methods of skimming more money off developers. Which they can use the extra money to make newer and better things, or they will just buy a faster / bigger boat… In any case enjoy your new found way of disabling driver signing in windows 7 64bit
