Unable to protect drivers

Post by marcelxmar »

If I try to protect a driver with anything, it always fails when trying to load with the following error: "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. 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."
I'm loading in test mode btw.

It seems you tried to load the protected driver without digital signature, so you have to sign it or disable signed driver enforcement for Windows like this:
1. Click the Start Start menu and select Settings.
2. Click Update and Security.
3. Click on Recovery.
4. Click Restart now under Advanced Startup.
5. Click Troubleshoot.
6. Click Advanced options.
7. Click Startup Settings.
8. Click on Restart.
9. On the Startup Settings screen press 7 or F7 to disable driver signature enforcement.

I had test mode enabled when trying it, it seems like the driver is corrupted or something like that.
