  1. Using Digital Signature to check download integrity


    Hi.

    I'm sure I know the answer to this question 99.99% but I want to be completely sure.

    Can the digital signature of an executable be used as a means to check if a download was done without corruption? I'm sure it can, but want to be completely sure that there's no fault in the method.

    Many thanks!

  2. "......does not have a valid digital signature...." when running Java update in Windows 10.

    Hi Nattawat,



    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We will help you in resolving the issue.



    Digital signatures allow administrators and end users who are installing Windows-based software to know whether a legitimate publisher has provided the software package.

  3. Windows 10 not booting: AswVmm.sys digital signature check failed

    After freshly installing Avast Premier on a brand new HP ProBook 470 G2 with Windows 10 Home, I keep on getting the following message that prevents Windows from booting normally:

    The workaround is to pres F8 and 7 - Disable driver signature enforcement in startup options.

    I have tried:

    1. Repair AVast
    2. Uninstall - boot - download - Install Avast

    This did not help. Looked on the internet, like here, but no reasonable advice.
    (I have copied the original disk to SSD with Samsung Data Migration software, which was a seamless process.)

    Any workaround except disabling driver signature validation?

    Using Digital Signature to check download integrity

    Getting "a digitally signed driver is required"

    Hi Thomas,

    This error can occur if there is a driver attempting to be installed on the system that was not signed by Microsoft digitally. Driver digital signatures help verify the integrity of the driver packages. To avoid this error, you need to disable the driver
    signature enforcement. Follow the steps below:

    • Press and hold the Shift key then click Restart button.
    • Choose Troubleshoot, then select Advanced options.
    • Select Startup Settings and click Restart.
    • Once the computer restarts, you'll see a list of options. Press F7 to select
      Disable driver signature.
    • Computer will now restart. Once done, check if the same error will occur.

    Let us know the outcome so we can provide further assistance.
