Disable digital driver signing enforcement 8.1 Windows

Hello

I wonrk for a supply of ePOS equipment company - when a till goes bad, we can implement portable frutas popular to function as a temporary ePOS machine until get a replacement.

This requires the installation of the thermal receipt printer drivers - unfortunately the manufacturer doesn't have them digitally signed.

One of our clients has a laptop HP Windows 8.1 (unknown model, but it's not important), on trying to follow the procedures to disable the application of digital signature (which will normally - Advanced Startup > Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Statup parameters) normal Help menu has been replaced by something HP recovery - this has removed the functions necessary.

Is there a way to get around this? I can't find any info on the site of HP, even recognizing it. I spent close to two hours on the phone unsucessfully trying to get this to work when it should be a fairly simple and fast procedure.

I'm very angry.

What gives, HP?

Hello

Here is another method.

Open a command prompt and enter the following command.

bcdedit - set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

bcdedit-set TESTSIGNING

Reboot the laptop.

To reactivate, simply enter the commands above again, substituting ALLOW instead of DISABLE and OFF instead of YOU

Kind regards

  • Must disable driver signing enforcement in order to start

    I have a problem with my computer Dell Inspiron laptop that runs Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. The computer will not start upward unless I use the F8 option to get ahead of the Startup Options, and then select disable Driver Signature Enforcement. If I try to start safe mode, he'll just go to the Windows error recovery screen. If I select the Startup Repair tool, I find myself just to Windows error recovery screen.

    I can't even to the recovery screen Windows among the early Startup Options. If I try, just need me the Windows error recovery screen. A Mater of fact, I tried all the options on the Windows error recovery screen and they all lead me to Windows Recovery screen. When I use the disable driver Signature enforcement, it starts normally and everything seems to work fine.

    I suspect that it is a driver problem. Is there a way that I can determine which driver is causing the problem. I tried to use the Freeware Device Doctor update drivers without result. I have not installed any new devices or drivers before the problem arises.

    Another bit of basic information, when the startup problem has shown first, and before I discovered the solution disable the Driver Signature Enforcement, I was able to get to the recovery of Windows using the repair option in advance of the Boot Options. Everything was working after restoring Windows to the original settings, and initialize correctly. As I went through the update of Windows and load many updates, on one of the latest updates, the startup problem occurred again. I can't get the Windows Service Pack 1 update to load. I get just an error message.

    I'm at my wits end and have exhausted eveything I know to try. Is there anyone who can give me some suggestions for something else to try?

  • HP DesignJet 430: HP DesignJet 430 and win 10 64-bit - required driver signing enforcement?

    Hello. Is the deactivation of the application of driver signing Win 10 required to install this printer HP DesignJet 430 64-bit (driver Vista or XP 64-bit):

    hpdj430x64glen.exe version 4.83 (I think)

    A customer wants the 430 to work with Win 10 64 bits; I don't want to have to go through the disabling stages if I have to. I don't think I have to. I think that it is a 'signed' driver

    Paul

    The driver here is the file you mention.  I just downloaded and installed in Windows 10 x 64 and it does not report that the drivers are signed.  You wouldn't have to disable driver signing.

  • Is it possible to use a virtual machine like XP Mode to use a driver that is incompatible with Windows 7?

    The driver is for a former Lego Mindstorms USB IR Tower. The device itself appears in Windows 7, but there is no drivers compatible with a 64 bit version of Windows 7 or Windows Vista. I know with certainty that the driver is compatible with XP SP 2 and a 32-bit version of Vista, and it could be compatible with a 32-bit installation of Windows 7.

    I have XP Mode, set up on Windows 7 64 bit machine, but the unit will not go through to the virtual machine. I read on another forum that if the driver of a measuring device is not compatible with Windows 7 the device does not appear in the virtual machine.

    Is there a workaround that doesn't involve using a separate XP machine or installation of XP on a virtual machine of third party such as Oracle?

    Don't know if this will work in your situation, but you can disable checking 'signed' driver for Win7
    in the start menu. Jut tap F8 during Windows startup, and then choose-
    Disable the Driver Signature Enforcement among the startup options.

  • Error installation software device driver for removable devices in Windows Vista x 64

    I have Windows Vista x 64 installed on my PC and nVidia Forceware motherboard and graphic cards.

    When I plug in any removable drive into my USB 2.0 port, Windows starts the installation of the device driver software and then sees it as an unknown device. The dialog where he asks me if I want to 'locate and install driver software', 'Ask Me later' or 'don't show this message for this device.

    I select the recommended option: "locate and install driver software.

    I click 'Continue' when Windows asks me permission to continue.

    Then, when the execution of the installer of the software in the bottom right of my screen, the installation of driver software for device, it shows "unidentified device failed.

    Then another window pops up saying this:

    "Found New Hardware - device unknown".

    Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device

    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it.

    Kodak

    An error occurred during the installation of the device:

    The driver for this device is missing a necessary entry. Maybe it's because the file INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor.

    If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit their website and check the support section for driver software. »

    That's what he does when I'm trying to connect my Kodak Easyshare M550 digital camera. I would go ahead and contact Kodak, but the problem seems to extend to ANY removable device on my computer.

    For example, I have a Lexar Flashdrive. When I plug it into my USB 2.0 port, it Windows says the following:

    "Windows needs to install driver software for your USB Flash Drive", etc...

    'Install the device driver software', 'USB Flash Drive search Windows Update'...

    Then a window opens asking me to "insert the disk that came with your USB key. Problem is that no driver disk not supplied with the hardware that Windows Vista is supposed to come with the drivers. I know this because the camera and usb flash drive worked very well until I reinstalled Windows Vista on my new hard drive (new installation, because my old hard drive crashed) and I've NEVER had to install device drivers for Windows to recognize it as a removable drive and operate automatically.

    Also, I installed Daemon Tools Lite and I had to manually "Update" the device driver to point to the "Windows\INF" folder in my hard drive, after copying the cdrom files needed for the specific subfolders for windows to let the program assign a drive letter for the drive virtual it creates.

    I think that perhaps not all device drivers have been installed when I installed Windows Vista, this time. If that's the problem, I don't know how that could happen, nor how to fix it, but I really prefer to find a way to solve this problem without reinstalling Windows Vista again. I don't mind not manually install the drivers as long as someone can show me what files to copy and where to find them on the Windows Vista disk that I bought at Microsoft. I KNOW that Windows HAS come with these drivers.

    If anyone knows how I can fix this, please tell me, because it's ridiculous to not be able to use any removable device readers (except for the use of all Flash drives). Thanks in advance.

    I know it can be frustrating to solve problems.

  • Optical drive is not recognized in Windows 8.1 (x 64) or in the UEFI System Diagnostics.

    Description of the problem:

    Optical drive is not recognized in Windows 8.1 (x 64) or in the UEFI System Diagnostics.

    Steps to recreate:

    UEFI:

    1. Start the PC in diagnosis system UEFI (F2 at the STATION)
    2. Pane controls
    3. Optical drive
    4. Sequential control
    5. Error: Optical drive not installed.

    8.1 Windows (x 64):

    1. Run Device Manager
    2. Error: No CD/DVD Drives section.
    3. Search for new hardware changes nothing.

    Relevant system specs:

    Mobile: HP Pavilion 15-n023sa (construction of vanilla)

    Optical drive: HP DVDRAM gu70n

    Steps already taken to solve:

    • Replaced the DVD drive with one of the similar specs of HP Pavilion. The replaced gn70n perfectly in the other machine. No change on problem laptop. Conclusion: DVD player works, and there is no problems with Windows 8.1 (x 64).
    • Removed DVD player. Restarted the computer. Sign in to Windows. Stop. Replace the DVD drive. Start the laptop. This is trying to solve defects of material with the PnP devices; more help to solve any problems of intermittent loose connection. Conclusion: No change.
    • Ran, troubleshooting of hardware and devices, via the control panel. Problem found: material changes may not have been detected. Explore more options just takes you through http://social.answers.microsoft.com/search/en-us/?query=hardware+device, that it is a 404 error page. Conclusion: Help and Support Windows is sorely lacking. They show no more information than just that something was detected as incorrect.
    • Ran the Microsoft FixIt troubleshooting of optical disc and auto repairman. (http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/5/8/F586FB7C-78E0-40EB-AF41-4C925F803CAF/CDDVDWin8.meta.dia... The convenience store has reported that the device was not found. He recommended to remove all power cables, power off, and various other things which have no relevance for computer laptop troubleshooting of switching equipment. He said: If the problem persists, contact the manufacturer. Conclusion: Windows troubleshooting can not solve the problem.
    • Run Windows Update to ensure that all updates and definitions have been installed. Conclusion: Windows is perfectly up to date.
    • Run a complete Rootkit and malware using Sbybot S & D 2.3 heuristic analysis. as a signature database scan using Windows Defender. Conclusion: Laptop is clean of rootkits and malware, to the best of my knowledge.

    Notes:

    The DVD player is NOT appear in Device Manager, OR in this PC.

    The DVD drive is NOT detected by diagnostics system UEFI.

    There is reference to the DVD in BIOS drive NUMBER , other than as an option of Setup, which is generic.

    The DVD player itself, works and has been verified on a different machine.

    The only possible conclusion is that the optical drive port mini-SATA on the motherboard is dead.

  • Is no longer possible to write on the drive CD - RW with Windows XP SP3. Could write to the drive of CD-ROM under Windows XP SP1. How can I find a cd - rw disk write access?

    My Dell Dimension 8250 with XP was initially equipped with Roxio Easy CD Creator 5.2.0.91 which enabled me to write on the CD drive (NEC CD - RW NR-9100). Later found out that the installation of Service Packs (2 or 3) disabled this feature. In an attempt to burn a CD will result in cancellation error during the writing process. Running MS Fixit tells me that my records are incapable of burning. I tried to uninstall Roxio Easy CD Creator via the Control Panel Add/Remove Harware/software and then reinstalled Easy CD Creator. Upon restart, this caused re-installing my computer immediately close with a blue screen message that the problem was caused by the fault of the file Cdr4_xp.sys (Driver_unloaded_without_cancelling_pending_operations). Then, I restored to a previous/y configuration work and uninstalled the Easy CD Creator. I can still read CD, simply, I can't burn. My question is, what can be done to restore this ability of burning CD or what kind of options are available for me to find this feature?

    Note: Reading other forums (Roxio and others), I find that Roxio Easy CD Creator does not work with Windows XP. The upgrade to another operating system is not an option that I need XP for other devices that are not compatible with Vista and a later version of the Windows operating system.

    I hope that you may be able to help.

    Sorry, I wanted to write in my notation at the end, was that Service Pack 1 of Windows XP works with Roxio Easy CD creator that came with the machine. However, after later SP, writing ability fails. That is what I had read in the forums, and what seems to me be a.

    This isn't a correct information.  At least, Roxio Easy CD Creator v. 5.3.2.35a works fine on my XP Pro sp3 machine.

    Of course, this information didn't you all good... and at this point, after running a FixIt, uninstall, reinstall, do a system restore, and everything you have done, I have particularly good advice to get the CD Creator to work for you.

    If you want to try something (with a small chance to make matters worse - assuming that you can now get the CD player to burn using integrated Windows - see the article cited by Shenan Stanley), here you go...

    Download Easy CD Creater 5.3.5: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cd_dvd/burning/easy_cd_creator_plt_upgrade.cfm this download, however, is an upgrade, and I don't know if it will install after uninstalling the version 5.2.0.  Assuming that you can not install this update in your current...

    What you could try - and no guarantees here - is to download the trial version of Revo Uninstaller Pro and run it in progressively more aggressive modes, until you get to the mode "forced uninstall" to ensure that all traces of your previous installation of Roxio is gone.

    After you have uninstalled all traces of the Roxio program, run system restore to create a restore (just in case) and then open the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK), right click on your CD drive and select uninstall.  Restart Windows should detect the CD drive and install the default Windows drivers.

    Then, reinstall your current install media Roxio and finally install the 5.3 update.

    As an alternative to the last step - especially if you're hesitant to download software from the site of AfterDawn (I don't know anything on them, one way or the other), you can buy a full version (but open box) of Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum for around $11 or 6 Platinum for $7

  • C drive is too full of windows files, they make more concise?

    My old computer is running xp and has a 20 GB C drive.  I also have an external hard drive 500 GB, where I store most of the data files.  I run C cleaner and remove programs, I do not use.  My drive is too full to defragment, and I don't have enough space to install office Pro 2007 for work.

    The composition of my C drive includes; 7.1 GB Windows, 2.6 Docs & settings, 2.5 GB of program files, 2.2 GB System Volume Information, 1.1 GB of files and the rest is negligible.  I suspect a lot of windows stuff could be deleted, but do not know how to determine what is important.

    I would disable restoring the system to the outside you don't need on this

    Is that hibernation .

    Lowering of the system restore on C has nothing to do with the external hard drive. It will have its own settings. If you use your external for backup, I wouldn't bother with system restore. System Restore is generally used for programs that have been installed. Or maybe if your system is infected with something (you turn it off)

    The only thing system restore is good because houses viruses / Trojan / malware. If your system is infected. I would like to turn it off

    1. using the Windows Encrypting File System (EFS) to encrypt files is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, unless you follow thebest practices of Microsoft for the use of this facility .  If you encrypt the files using EFS and lose the ability to access for all sorts of reasons, you will not be able to recover the data.

    2. you are track by disabling Simple file sharing.  The NTFS file system uses "permissions" to control access to files.  Further reading:

    I have looked in device, properties of D: drive management, security settings, etc., but have been unable to find such a control to this day.

    Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

    Hi JC_226,

    This isn't the Windows feature. Can not disable access to the cd player while windows is locked. However, there is an option to disable the CD/DVD device. To do this, you can follow these steps:
    a. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc, and then click ok.
    b. in the list of objects, expand CD/DVD players.
    c. right-click on the sub element and click on disable.
    d. follow the instructions in the wizard to disable the device.

    Important: If you disable a device that is required to start the system, such as your floppy drive or CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive, these devices will not work, and your system might not start.

  • Western Digital drive hard problem; Forced to Format

    I have been using an external hard drive Western Digital Home Edition 500 GB with Windows Vista for more than 8 months without any problem.  Recently, I used the hard drive on a computer running Windows XP (also without any problem).  Now, the hard drive does not open on Windows Vista.  It is recognized in my computer, but when I try to open the location she reads, 'the drive must be formatted before use".  The drive still works under Windows XP.  I would rather not format it, because I didn't save my data :(

    102,

    First of all, make sure that it is not the hardware on your computer:

    1.) try all USB ports on the machine in question with the external hard drive

    2.) try other USB devices on the machine as well. You get the same result?

    Sometimes this is also caused by software conflicts. Anything to be downloaded or installed recently?

    It can also be caused by the power surges that occur in your home. Thunderstorms through here lately? Do you use a surge protector?
    If everything else seems to work very well, another cause can also be a virus. Update your virus definitions, then run a full system scan. Thank you, Jeremy M - Support Engineer
