Windows 10: Cant verify Cdrom.sys if its signed.

Ik have a little project where I automate windows installationwith powershell, normally I use a USB stick with a winpe environment to run some powers he'll scripts from boot. Now I have run into a issue where it says that cdrom.sys isn't signed and won't load into the winpe environment. I thought that maybe the RAM would be the issue but I have the same problem on a virtual machine.I tried: Replacing the .sys file with a legitimate Windows oneDeleting the .sys file i could always try but obviously it didn't workCleared all TPM keys and secure boot settings in the bios.Reinstalled the newest

:)

 

Steelseries Merc Keyboard driver alpham164.sys disabled after windows 10 creator update why? how to undo/force it?

well I'll do the best I can to go step by step:

• Boot With Driver Signing disabled
• With Zengine installed, go to your "Saved Bettam folder"\Kernel2k\Bettam12.inf.
• Right click and select install.
• Go to your %SystemRoot%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\ and make sure the Bettam12_* folder is created... *being the alphanumeric hash that is generated when you install a driver.
• If this folder is created then go to regedit
• Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\PnpLockdownFiles\%SystemRoot%/System32/drivers/Alpham164.sys
  • Edit the Source entry to your %SystemRoot%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\ bettam12_*\Bettam164.sys
• Look for Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\PnpLockdownFiles\%SystemRoot%/System32/drivers/Bettam164.sys
  • Verify it contains the same information
• Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\PnpLockdownFiles\%SystemRoot%/System32/drivers/Alpham264.sys
  • Edit the Source entry to your %SystemRoot%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\ bettam12_*\Bettam264.sys
• Look for Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\PnpLockdownFiles\%SystemRoot%/System32/drivers/Bettam264.sys
  • Verify it contains the same information
• Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\PnpLockdownFiles\%SystemRoot%/System32/drivers/Alpham164.sys
  • Edit Source to your %SystemRoot%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\bettam12.inf_*\Bettam164.sys
• Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\PnpLockdownFiles\%SystemRoot%/System32/drivers/Alpham264.sys
  • Edit Source to your %SystemRoot%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\bettam12.inf_*\Bettam264.sys
• Look for Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\PnpLockdownFiles\%SystemRoot%/System32/drivers/Bettam164.sys
  • Verify it contains the same information
• Look for Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\PnpLockdownFiles\%SystemRoot%/System32/drivers/Bettam264.sys
  • Verify it contains the same information
• Search for Bettam1, result should be Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\USB in a VID Key
• If not Search for Alpham1 in that tree and change LowerFilters to Bettam1
• Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Alpham1
  • Change ImagePath to your "Saved Bettam Drivers\Kernel2k\Bettam164.sys" folder
• Look for Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Bettam1
  • Verify it contains the same information
• Search for Bettam1, result should be Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB in a VID Key
• If not Search for Alpham1 in that tree and change LowerFilters to Bettam1
• Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Alpham1
  • Change ImagePath to your your "Saved Bettam Drivers\Kernel2k\Bettam164.sys" folder
• Look for Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Bettam1
  • Verify it contains the same information
• Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DriverDatabase\DriverInfFiles\oem34.inf
  • Change both Default and Active to your "bettam12.inf_*" folder thats in System32
• Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DriverDatabase\DriverInfFiles\oem35.inf
  • Change both Default and Active to your "bettam12.inf_*" folder thats in System32
• Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DriverDatabase\DriverPackages\alpham12.inf_*
  • Change InfName to Bettam12.inf
  • Change OEMPath to your "Saved Bettam Files\Kernel2k" folder
• Search for Bettam1, result should be Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DriverDatabase\DriverPackages\alpham12.inf_amd64_932fbe5113b0010d\Configurations in a HID_Keypad entry
• If not Search for Alpham1 in that key and change LowerFilters to Bettam1
• Look for Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DriverDatabase\DriverPackages\bettam12.inf_*
  • Verify it has the same information as the previous Alpham1.inf_* entry
• Search for Bettam1, result should be Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DriverDatabase\DriverPackages\bettam12.inf_*\Configurations in a HID_Keypad entry
• If not search for Alpham1 and change LowerFilters to Bettam1

If any of the Alpham entries are missing, or you previously renamed any of the Alpham keys, reinstall Zenginge from scratch and then start from the beginning of these steps.

Reboot your computer with Driver Signing Disabled again and See if Zengine is working. If Zengine is red Open Device Manager. Verify the Bettam164.ys and Bettam264.sys are listed, If they are missing and if there is no Alpham164.sys or Alpham264.sys then
begin updating drivers. Use the saved Bettam drivers in your Kernel2k path. If everything is working you can reboot normally.

 

Digitally signed driver not verified by Windows

This is a typical error you get if vendors are still only cross-signing their drivers.

Note: Please provide your exact Windows Version next time!

However, I'm assuming that your Windows 10 version is at least 1607 (aka Redstone 1, Anniversary Update) and you have Secure Boot enabled.

If my assumption is true, this driver won't work.

I've extracted the .sys and .cat files from the installer package and verified that these drivers do not have a Microsoft signature:





Since Windows 10 version 1607, a tightened kernel driver certification is enforced. The new rule is that all Windows 10 drivers must be digitally signed by Microsoft, no more cross signing! Kernel driver developers must now use an Extended Validation (EV) code signing certificate and submit their drivers to the Windows Hardware Developer Center Dashboard Portal where the drivers will be signed by Microsoft.

In that case you would see a signature like this:





Check the following links for more information:

How do I allow cross-signed kernel drivers in Windows 10 version 1607 with secure boot enabled?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...code-signing-policy--windows-vista-and-later-

What are your options now?

• Ask the vendor to provide a Microsoft-signed driver (should be taken for granted actually)
  
• Disable driver verification (as you've already discovered)
  
• Disable Secure Boot
