Hi folks
Any way of disabling driver signing permanently (Windows 11 Pro 24H2) -- the temporary method of hold down shift and restart with 2 reboots is a temporary get around but it's annoying if you have to do this if for any reason your system needs to re-boot or you shut it down at night etc.


Cheers

What's happening that you want to disable driver signatures?



Memory integrity can be turned off:







Using Windows RE driver signature enforcement can be disabled: (startup settings #7)

I have a PC that has a built in Wifi device that has an unsigned driver in it. The LAN nic installs OK but not the wireless nic. I'm currently away from home and have to use wifi so I need to get the driver working (which it does via the shutdown and hold shift to get start up options - but that has to be re-done every time the machine is re-started).

Obviously I'd like a way to fix this so the driver loads automatically at every reboot.
