Solved Boot configuration data (BCD)

[Colmart]

Hello everybody,

I wouldlike to know how to enable/disable the BCD.
Can you help me please?

T.Y. in advance

antivirus is warning about the BCD is allawing non-signed drivers installation.
Would like to fix this.
Is it worth it?

Being worth it or not, really depends on what you want it for, can you give any more info?

You need to boot into Windows 7's advanced boot options, as this tutorial explains.

Have a look at Disable Driver Signature Enforcement: Allows drivers containing improper signatures to be temporarily installed.

What are the drivers you're trying to install?

Run a full scan with Malwarebytes.

Replace your AV with Microsoft Security Essentials or Avast 6 for best performance and least trouble.

thx for replying

I don't have any virusses/malware .I have alredy scanned with malwarebytes ecc.
I don't have to install / do any specific thing.

The only thing I want to do is to "fix" that BCD.

Check these two links, but I'm intrigued as to why you want tio install unsigned drivers.

I don't want to disable, I want to Enable

I don't want to instal unsigned drivers! (lol!) I only want to do the opposite.

Confusion arose because you asked how to enable or disable the installation of unsigned drivers.

Now that you have confirmed you don't want to allow unsigned drivers to be installed, we can try a different approach.

Have you checked that UAC is enabled?

 

[Colmart]

yep sorry my bad for the confusion. I have uac disabled,now I try to enable it T.Y.

 

[Colmart]

enabled UAC at maximum protection, rebooted and the warning message keep staying :

Try Visual BCD Editor - Windows 7/Vista - every single bit and byte is displayed...

Every loader and element is displayed with symbolic name and internal {GUID} or hexadecimal id.

To edit an element (of a loader) just double-click it - if it is of enumeration type you will get symbolic names to choose from like NxPolicy -> OptIn, OptOut ......for example.

 

[boyans]

The element is AllowPrereleaseSignatures (id=0x16000049) - it is a boolean.

It is best to delete it. (Select it and click Delete, Confirm.)

To find out which loader it belongs to exactly check loaders by {GUID}.

Solved! WoW Boyans you are really geat like this forum! Thank you so much MS should get your software. An engineer repaired my PC lately . Have I to think that he have put a virus or else? T.Y.
