driver signature enforcement

Driver signature enforcement is a security measure in Windows operating systems that verifies the digital signature of driver software before allowing it to run. This process ensures the driver is from a trusted source and hasn't been tampered with, helping to protect your system from malware or unstable drivers. If a driver isn't properly signed or has issues with its signature, Windows may block its installation or operation, prompting you to verify its legitimacy. This enforcement helps maintain system stability and security by only allowing verified drivers to interact with your computer.
