Meaning any invalid or malfunctioning driver is blocked from installation before the installation actually commences. However, there are multiple instances where even the seemingly correct and functioning driver is prevented from installation by Driver Signature Verification, In such cases there’s no other option but to disable the driver Signature Verification altogether.
