Windows 10: Regarding Driver Signature

I own a Laptop in which some drivers are causing a problem for me. Some days back, my "Conexant SmartAudio HD" Driver as well as "USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam" Driver started showing an error:


Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)


and since then, the sound tab in Device Manager shows:


Conexant SmartAudio HD

Intel(R) Display Audio

Microsoft Streaming Clock Proxy

Microsoft Streaming Quality Manager Proxy

Microsoft Streaming Service Proxy

Microsoft Streaming Tee/Sink-to-Sink Converter

Microsoft Streaming Tee/Sink-to-Sink Converter

Microsoft Trusted Audio Drivers


all these with the same error that is listed above.


I checked my Windows Update and it started downloading Conexant drivers from there, but I got :- Install Failed-0x8024ce34


Now, I cannot Disable Driver Signature Enforcement because some games like PUBG doesn't start due to their anti-cheat programmes.


Please help.
