Hi,

I have installed a Windows 7 PC and I need to boot the OS in to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" mode.

Currently I have to press the F8 key to boot in to this mode. I need to boot in to this mode automatically every time I restart computer. Is it possible? Please help me.

    @Akhil Babu
    Hi,

    You could try the following steps:
    Open a command prompt as an admin and type:

    bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
    bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

    See security risk warning above.

    If it doesn't work for whatever reason you can just remove loadoptions with bcedit and switch testsigning off.

    bcdedit /deletevalue loadoptions
    bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF

    In addition, here are some posts with the similar issue with yours, just for your reference, you can try the method mentioned in them:

    Hope above information can help you.

    HI @Akhil Babu ,

    You can disable the Driver Signature Enforcement permanently, although NOT recommended.
    [Disable driver signature enforcement Windows Guide

    Should be the same steps for Windows 7.
