Hey msbasar,
The only difference between normal and Test Mode is that signed driver verification is turned off, it'll install unsigned drivers.
To get back to normal mode, open up an elevated Command Prompt session and enter the following: Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
Now reboot and hopefully you'll be back into normal mode. Hope this helps.

Hi msbasar,
Click your Start Button, type cmd then right click Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator'
Run this command and hit Enter:
Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
When that completes, close Command Prompt and restart your PC . . .
