How to Fix 'Windows Requires a Digitally Signed Driver'

Windows users could encounter the 'Windows requires a digitally signed driver' after a major update of the OS that has imposed requirements for specific drivers to be digitally signed. The goal of this feature is to help users avoid any suspicious packages that claim to be drivers but also are packed with other intrusive functionalities. In many cases, however, legitimate drivers that have been installed by the users could trigger this issue due to the requirements.

One method that will fix the problem is to disable the digital signing requirement altogether. Be warned, though, that may increase the security risks for your system. The first step is to open the Run box by pressing the Windows + R keys on your keyboard simultaneously. In the window that appears, type in gpedit.msc and press Enter. Now, click on 'User Configuration' and then open 'Administrative Templates' by double-clicking it. Open 'System. Locate 'Driver Installation' and then click 'Code.' All that is left is to click the drop-down menu and then select 'Ignore.'

For this method to work, however, your Windows 10 edition must support group policy editing.
