I was tiring to update the drivers for this card via Device Manager, first uninstalling the older drivers and deleting the files. The install was done by pointing DM to the specific drivers only folder (I didn't want their Control panel). It appeared to install ok, but a ! was displayed for that device entry in DM. In the description it stated "Windows cannot verify the digital signature". This came directly from Nvidia's web site. It was v472.12 from Sept of '21 the last full version for that card. The newer files are just 'security updates'.
I then tried the latest update from 12/22 with the same result, this never installed. Any ideas here?? The older version was ok from 2020.

I just tried to re-install the older driver v457.21 from 12/20 and the result was the same. Is there a MS Service that controls this that?

There is probably a way to disable enforcement of signed drivers but as long as the driver came directly from Nvidia I wouldn't worry about it. As long as it works that's all that counts.

Question: Did you actually extract the .EXE file from NVIDIA's website with 7-Zip and that's how you installed the drivers into Device Manager?


Just to let you know, you CAN install the driver with the option not to install Experience BS.


SIW2 is most likely correct on your lack of SHA2 code singing ability in your OS.

There is an exclamation point in front of the entry and there are no resources being used.

Yes, I used 7Zip to extract the .exe, then pointed DM to the Drivers folder. The method I have always used for the video card.

AFA SHA2, I have no idea about that. When I last updated the driver a few years ago it went fine. Again, when I tried it again to roll back after deleting the new driver, DM returned the same error message about the driver being either corrupt or damaged.

Why the complicated, confusing change ?? :mad:

I installed that KB file but I still had problems. I uninstalled it and the system would NOT even boot up! Luckly I had a recent backup image of the O/S that I re-loaded to get me back up.

So much for their broken 'updates' which is why I never do M$ updates, it's not the 1st time one of them wrecked something else..
