How to Verify if System Files and Drivers are Digitally Signed in Windows


Information To help maintain the integrity of your system, critical files have been digitally signed so that any changes to these files can be quickly detected.

Unsigned drivers don’t necessarily have to be problematic or malicious, but it does make sense to check the system for those so you can uninstall them or find a updated signed driver.

This tutorial will show you how to check for and find any system files and drivers that are not digitally signed in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10.


Note File Signature Verification (sigverif.exe) saves its results to the log file below.

*Arrow C:\Users\Public\Documents\SIGVERIF.TXT





Here's How:

1. Press the Win+R keys to open Run, type sigverif into Run, and click/tap on OK to open "File Signature Verification".

2. Click/tap on Start. (see screenshot below)


Tip If you like, you can click/tap on Advanced first to change the logging settings to what you want instead of the default settings, and click/tap on OK to apply.






3. File Signature Verification will now scan your system files and drivers. (see screenshot below)



4. When finished, all unsigned system files and drivers are displayed in the results with its file name, full folder path, modified, file type, and version details. (see screenshot below)


Note Depending on the results, you may want to keep the file(s), search for an updated version of it, or remove it from being started with Windows.




That's it,
Shawn

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.
