Windows 10 include a driver signature enforcement feature that requires all drivers be signed by Microsoft with a digital signature before being allowed to install and load into the Windows kernel. If needed, you can disable driver signature enforcement to install and load unsigned drivers.
Advanced startup enables you to perform these actions:
- Start recovery (aka: Windows RE or WinRE), troubleshooting, and diagnostic tools.
- Boot from a disk (ex: USB or DVD) or device (UEFI only)
- Access the PC's UEFI firmware
- Restore Windows from a system image
- Choose default operating system to boot to on PC if multiple operating systems are installed
Manually Steps

- Type “7” or “F7” at the Startup Settings screen to activate the “Disable driver signature enforcement” option.
