W7 unable to confirm Driver Signing for video card

[videobruce]

I don't believe this is exclusive a nVidia card issue, it just happens to to apply here.

Running W7 Pro x64, I do have those two SHA-2' KB patches installed, but when I try to install nVidia drivers using DM (no need for that bloated Ctl Panel and all the fluff), the installation goes fine, but on re-boot, DM has a yellow flag with a Driver signing error.

I did some research with 3 methods to disable driver signing, but 2 of the three didn't work (Command Prompt & Group Policy). The 3rd has to do with using WinRE which I've never done before (or had to). This involves forcing power off re-boots 3 times.
I also have read that holding F8 during booting does the same thing (I believe).

Anyone have any input of this??

The F8, advanced boot, disable driver signing enforcement during installation during that boot session, has worked for me multiple times.
Don't hold F8, tap it rapidly and repeatedly.

This solution has worked for me as a permanent fix.

While the F8 key method does the same, you have to remember this on every bootup, which becomes tiresome.

That was the one that didn't work.

Weird, looks like something particular to your setup.
Is your Windows fully updated? What card and drivers are you installing? Have you tried installing them the usual way? Also, you need admin rights to enable test signed drivers from cmd.

Huh?
Not for me. I just had to disable driver signing when I installed it, then never again. Every subsequent normal boot or reboot, the driver kept working just fine.
I have done this multiple times for different NVIDIA drivers which I have modified to support a video card which should be supported but was excluded.
