Windows 11
When I am installing the driver 2.17 someone modded I am getting the red notification that says it is unsigned, trying to install
Secure boot is disable, TPM is enabled
Even on a new windows install and my main os, I disabled the windows security driver's protections, I used the BCDEDIT commands
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

For some reason I updated to the newest bios there was, and I remember it worked fine, then I reverted back to the old bios, could a bios cause that? because it happened on both os at the same time, or is it just a bios setting?


What can I do so windows 11 won't complained about the unsigned driver? is it the bios version? a bios setting?

I am getting this, if I let it install I will get BSOD or windows won't be able to load with the Hardware plugged anymore. I am lost, I can't figure how it worked before, I did a new windows to go on my SSD also.

yes I am using version 8.0 without issue, but it is 2.40 version, and it has bad sound quality compared to version 2.17

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium driver 2.40.0016 WHQL | Page 9 | TechPowerUp Forums
Modified drivers for X-Fi sound cards. | TechPowerUp Forums

Version 5.0 is not stable and also it is 2.40

Click on the Install anyway. After successful installation you can boot normally to Windows and use the sound card with the unsigned drivers. The signature is only checked before installation. If you install it, Windows use the driver without warning.

if I click install anyway the computer freeze and bsod or black screen when restarting. if it's red it's not good. it didn't ask when it was working fine before.

it means the bcdedit commands not a actually work and the drivers unsigned won't load. that's the point , it installs like normal and not bypassing the protection
