Can't Install Unsigned Drivers In Windows 10

[Deleted member 2038075]

So I'm trying to install this driver for an old monitor so i can run it in dual with my standard, but it needs this old unsigned driver to work. Now before the creator update i was just able to run a command that put windows in test sign mode and install it there. I had to reinstall windows because of an unrelated bug, and now even if I am in test sign mode it won't let me install unsigned drivers. I've heard some people suggest disabling driver signage in boot options, but neither my keyboard nor my mouse work on that screen for some reason. Do you guys have any ideas?

I read it somewhere that a Fresh install will NOT allow you to install unsigned driver, only an upgrade install can.

You have to disable driver signature enforcement in the boot menu. Try a different keyboard and mouse.

I used to use a tool to sign my own drivers in Windows 7 x64. I'm no longer really familiar with the process or that particular tool but here's a link, with comments mentioning they had success in Windows 10. Hope it helps.

Okay, do you have any tips for a specific type of keyboard? Because I've tried every one I own and none work. I was thinking of getting one of the really old ones that had the circular connector, not USB. Do you think that would work?

Upgraded as in from Windows 8.1 to 10? Or upgraded as in Pro versus Home?

Check the BIOS and make sure USB is enabled. USB devices won't work pre Windows if it's turned off.

Must have been a BIOS settings problem. I cleared the CMOS by taking out the little battery and putting it back in, and it worked like a charm! Thanks!
