How to Disable Driver Verifier on Windows 10?

I am trying to disable the Windows 10 driver signature verifier.

This is causing constant BSOD errors - all showing "Driver Verifier IOManger Violation"

I am trying to install an old video driver. I would like to completely disable the verifier program, but so far I can't.

I have spent the last few days researching and trying every variation of the following strategies

I rebooted into advanced setup options

in cmd.exe

shutdown.exe /r /o

I then hit F7 to disable driver signature verification

I opened gpedit.msc

Enabled the option for code signed drivers

Enabled Test Mode

I tried to disable any video drivers in use under device manager, but there are no video drivers installed at all.

In cmd.exe I ran "verifier" to open the driver verifier manager

I choose "Display existing settings"

All options read as "no"

I set compatibility mode on my driver install package and am running as administrator

After every install attempt the BSOD screen appears with the driver verifier error message.

Suggestions?

Have you tried "Delete existing settings" in the Driver Verifier Manager? Another option would be to boot into Windows Recovery, select Command Prompt, and run verifier /bootmode resetonbootfail. Reboot the PC after doing so.

have you looked in the registry for the values and deleted them?

"Driver verifier" , the thing you get to by typing "verifier" from the command prompt, has absolutely nothing to do with driver signature verification.

the verifier settings are stored in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory ManagementVerifyDrivers and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory ManagementVerifyDriverLevel. Delete both entries to get rid of Driver Verifier.

I'm going to leave this here for anyone who has the same problem I did:

Click on "See advanced repair options"

Go to "Troubleshoot"

Tap on "Advanced Options"

Click on "Start-up Settings"

Press 4 to start up in safe mode

Once you're logged in, type run

Type verifier.exe

Click "delete existing settings"

Go to the start menu and click "restart"

Hope this helps. I was in a frustrating loop where NOTHING was disabling driver verifier, but this worked for me, so I hope it does for you too.
