How to restore Startup Settings to default?

Anonymous

I recently changed one of the settings in the "Startup Settings", which settings are detailed in this article. I believe I selected--"Disable driver signature enforcement"--in order to install a third-party driver, which I believe was option number 7 in the menu I was presented with. Can you please tell me how to see any such changes I have made to these settings and how to restore them to default if needs be: for example, perhaps I hit "8" rather than "7" and so disabled something I did not want to disable.

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Any changes you made to the startup settings, including Driver Signature Verification would be reset to their defaults the next time you restarted your PC, they only last for the first time you start your PC, they are not permanent changes to the Windows system.
