My guess is that the enforcement is indeed working after the unsigned driver instalation and the driver works after reverting back from test mode. Is there another way to check if the enforcement is indeed active?
#Can disable windows 7 driver signature enforcement install#
I wonder if I tried to install another unsigned driver the enforcement would work. And the reason the xusb21.inf file "installs" without a warning is because this specific driver is already installed. Them I got the error message and I had to do all the process again to install the driver. So, I tried unnistalling the driver through device manager and after restarting my computer I tried to install the driver again. To see if it was actually doing something I tried through prompt with the command: "pnputil -a c:\\xusb21.inf" and to my surprise the driver was "installed" succesfully.

Didnt get a warning like before when I tried to install it without entering test mode. "bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS" which were completed succesfully.īut when I tried to execute the file xusb21.inf again, nothing happened. I tried the commands: "bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks off" and I tried using the command bcdedit.exe to look the options "nointegritychecks" and "testsigning" to see if they were classified as "no" and they were. So, after installing in test mode and reverting back (comand: bcdedit.exe /set testsigning off), I was worried about security and started to wonder if the enforcement was really at work, since the driver was functioning well. You mentioned if I enable the driver signature enforcement, the installed unsigned driver would stop functioning. However, this process removes the digital signing of the driver. So I know that there is nothing malicious about this driver.

The driver installed was downloaded from the microsoft website and the video showed how to edit the file xusb21.inf on notepad to simply change the ID of the product to 0291. Anyway, the youtube video taught me how to disable the driver digital signature enforcement through test mode and how to install the driver and revert back out of test mode. This was news to me since I thought it was original (I have it for many years now). So I found a video on youtube saying that apparently my dongle is from a third party and that is why they stopped working. The old usual fix (manual installation of the driver through device manager) stopped working a couple weeks back.

I have been waiting for the problem to fix itselft through a new update for quite a while now, but nothing has changed. I have one dongle myself and wanted to play some games. Recently I was researching about the xbox 360 receivers and why there are reports about the new version of windows 10, 2004, breaking their functionality. Hi, brink!
