How to *permanently* enable unsigned drivers

Question

_{Wednesday, September 11, 2019 2:16 PM}

I need to use an unsigned driver for a Wiimote because it's the only possible way to use it with the SNES Classic controller.

The driver's installer can automatically toggle Windows 10's test mode for you, so that you don't have to manually enable unsigned drivers every time you reboot. I can't do this, because I use an OLED display and the desktop background overlay will cause burn-in.

I've seen several techs suggest running the "bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON" command, including in this forum, but this doesn't work either. It appears to have no effect at all on unsigned drivers.

Are there any other solutions at all?

Try the method here:

bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks on

Unfortunately, that's the command I've already tried, along with the variation seen in my post above. So, it doesn't seem possible to disable signature enforcement.

Is there no way to remove the test mode watermark from the desktop? That would work for me.

To disable the Test Mode:

Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF

If the above command didn’t work, this one must work:

Bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF

You may exit the Command Prompt now.

If the Test Mode message/watermark is still appearing, reboot your PC once.
