How to get rid of “windows can’t verify the publisher of this driver software” window?

How to get rid of the “Windows can’t verify the publisher of this driver software” window? Policy setting didn’t work.

I have tried the following suggested solutions however neither one has worked. I am working on Driver Validation test automation using C# language and I would like to avoid the user interaction while installing/uninstalling drivers. Could you please help me getting rid above security warning?

Two ways I have tried which did not work:

Command line:

  1. open the command line with “Run as Administrator” and excute the following commands:
    bcdedit.exe -set load options DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
  2. Restart your computer

Policy:

  1. Open gpedit.msc
  2. Expand User Configuration> Administrative Templates > System > Driver Installation
  3. In the right panel, double click on ‘Code Signing for Device Drivers’.
  4. Choose ‘Enabled’ in the window that appears. In the underlying options, choose ‘Ignore’. This disables drivers signing in Windows 7, and now you can install unsigned drivers in Windows 7.
  5. Click Apply, OK. Restart your computer to install unsigned drivers.

The solutions provided by the tech expert members didn’t solve my problem. Can anybody provide a working solution? I would be highly appreciate it.
