    How to get rid of "windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software" window?

    I have tried the following suggested solution. However, neither one has worked.  I am working on Driver validation test automation using C# language and I would like to avid the user interaction while installation/uninstillation of drivers.  Could you please help me getting rid above security warning.

    Two ways tried which was not work:

     

    I. Command line:

    1. open the command line with "Run as Administrator" and excute the following commands:

    bcdedit.exe -set load options DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

    bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

    2. Restart your computer

    II. Policy:

    1. Open gpedit.msc

    2. Expand User Configuration> Administrative Templates > System > Driver Installation

    3. In the right panel, double click on ‘Code Signing for Device Drivers’.

    4. Choose ‘Enabled’ in the window that appears. In the underlying options, choose ‘Ignore’. This disables drivers signing in Windows 7, and now you can install unsigned drivers in Windows 7.

    5. Click Apply, OK. Restart your computer to install unsigned drivers.

     The solutions provided by the tech expert members didn't solve my problem. 

     Anybody can you provide Working solution. I would be highly appreciated it.

    This is not a programmign issue. This is an issue of Windows Administration.

    As such a Forum for the language Visual C# is not the right place to ask.

    Regardign 1:
    As long as UAC is enabeled, all Run commands are executed under Limited User Rights. Even if you are logged in as Adminsitrator.

    So this operation will likely fail, but as the Console immediately Closes you will not be informed of it (or you will have a hard time reading it at least). Try solution one by first starting a Console as Adminsitrator, then typing it into the Console.

    Hi Dattatrya,

    Thank you for visiting the MSDN forum. I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum about this issue. I am moving your question to the moderator forum ("Where is the forum for..?"). The owner of the forum will direct you to a right forum.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    Regards,
