Windows 10: How to solve "digitally signed driver is required"

Thank you, will run this and post it up

 

To know which program using WinPcap driver first you need to understand why programs are using this driver.

 

Usually, it's because you're running a program like Wireshark which wants to see everything coming into your network interface. FreeBooter's point might also be that something illicit or unwanted might be using it without your knowledge. OTH, you can always disable it and just wait for something to break! I just went looking for WinPcap in DevMgr on my protocol analyzer machine, though, and I don't see it under network adapters or system devices. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Usually you can uninstall WinPcap driver from Start Menu > Control Panel > Programs and Features.

You can also disable or enable WinPcap service from Services manger. Type Services.msc into Start Menu and press Enter key to open Services manger. There should also be a WinPcap service that allows remote access to your computer using WinPcap driver if its not used it should be disabled for security reasons.

 

Yes, thanks FreeBooter! Just looked in Programs and Features where, thanks to the miracle of the ASCII collating sequence, here's what I see:



And while it is a driver (of sorts, because it plugs into the IP stack at Layer 2) Windows treats it as a program, which is why it shows up in "Programs and Features." Doh! Thanks for helping me to once again belabor the obvious.
Best wishes,
