    Windows 8 Users: You will need to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement between installing the PX and Enduro fix Driver.

    The TESTSIGNING boot configuration option is enabled or disabled through the BCDEdit command. To enable test-signing, use the following BCDEdit command:

    Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

    To disable test-signing, use the following BCDEdit command:

    Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF

    Note After you change the TESTSIGNING boot configuration option, restart the computer for the change to take effect.

    To use BCDEdit, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the system and run the command from an elevated command prompt. To open an elevated Command Prompt window, create a desktop shortcut to Cmd.exe, right-click the Cmd.exe shortcut, and select Run as administrator.

    Supported OS
