Windows 10: Disabled Unsigned Driver Updates?

hello. i am on Windows 10 Home and am trying to figure out how to prevent Windows Update from replacing non-signed drivers.


i have tried several things...


there was a registry entry that is supposed to disable driver updates, i find you can enable this option through Display Driver Uninstaller.


this was another registry method i found to exclude class guid's from the update.


i also found a Microsoft tool that lets you hide updates.




i may have tried another thing or two, but nothing seems to be working.


any ideas? anyone?

:)

 

unsigned drivers

Hi Dyllan,

Since you have tried many troubleshooting methods with no luck, we recommend you to boot Windows 10 with
driver signature enforcement disabled. To do so, kindly follow these steps:

• Restart your PC while holding down Shift.
• On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot.
• Select Advanced options and click Startup Settings.
• Click Restart to restart your PC into the Startup Settings screen.
• Press 7 or F7 at the Startup Settings screen to activate
  Disable driver signature enforcement mode.
• Driver signature enforcement is now disabled and it will remain disabled until you enable it back on the
  Advance boot option.

Let us know if this enables you to install unsigned drivers.

Regards.

You might try this:

Installing Unsigned Drivers by Disabling Integrity Checks
To disable integrity checks:
STEP 1: Open the Command Prompt as admin from the Power User menu, then execute the command: bcdedit /set nointegritychecks off
STEP 2: After executing the command, restart your PC, and then proceed in installing the unsigned driver for your system.
STEP 3: To re-enable integrity check, execute the below command as an admin in the command prompt: bcdedit /set nointegritychecks on
STEP 4: When you get the message saying the operation was successful, restart your system and you’re good to go.
