How to Turn off Digital Driver Signing Check in Windows 7

Why is digital signature required ?
To prevent users from installing devices or drivers that do not provide a valid digital signature that is accepted as a trusted source by Microsoft.

If no signed driver exists, there are some potential risks to using untested and unverified drivers. Firstly, the driver might not even work with Windows. Secondly, the driver could have been altered to include malware or viruses, and these could damage your system or even steal vital information from you. Finally, badly-written drivers can also make your system unstable.

Nevertheless, just because a driver is unsigned doesn’t automatically mean it’s bad. It only means it hasn’t gone through the certification process. There are many safe and useful unsigned drivers out there that people can use. It’s a matter of taking the necessary precautions before installing these drivers on your computer.

There is a Policy setting available to turn off the requirement.

• Press windows+r to open RUN, and type gpedit.msc
• Goto User Config/Admin Template/System/Driver installation/code signed drivers
• Click on ENABLE option for code signed drivers:
• then set the drop box to "Ignore"
