The test mode appears when you are testing or using unsigned drives in Windows 10. Here's how to disable or remove test mode in Windows 10.
If you are using unsigned drives or drives not digitally signed by Microsoft, Windows may start in the Test Signing Mode. When that happens, you will see a little watermark on the bottom right corner saying that you are in Test Mode along with the Windows version and its build number. Test Signing mode is useful to test unsigned drives or software still in the testing phase as you don't have to provide an authentication certificate or proper drive digital signature. This ensures the integrity of the system all the while giving you the flexibility to test new software or drives.
In order to achieve maximum security, Windows 10 requires digitally signed drivers.
This is usually a good feature if you’re concerned about your safety, but sometimes you need to install drivers that aren’t digitally signed, and today we’re going to show you how to do that.
As a quick reminder, 64-bit versions of Windows require that you install digitally signed drivers.
Digitally signed drivers come with an electronic fingerprint that guarantees that the driver was created by the hardware manufacturer and that it hasn’t been modified since it was created.
Thanks to driver signature enforcement you’ll be sure that your drivers are authentic and not altered by a malicious third party.
This feature is great if you want to protect your PC, but some manufacturers don’t make digitally signed drivers and this can lead to all sorts of problems.
If your drivers aren’t digitally signed you won’t be able to install them at all which means that you won’t be able to use the hardware that is associated with them.
This is a big problem, but fortunately, you can disable driver signature enforcement with ease.
This issue will be fixed, but from now on, keep your drivers updated with the best software on the market.
If you are bothered by the test mode in Windows, you can disable test mode by enabling the Drive Integrity Checks and setting Testing Mode to Off. Without further ado, let me show you the procedure to remove test mode in Windows.
