You should have plenty of non-WHQL drivers to try out if you play with WinUSB.sys/libusbk.ss/libusb0.sys since the driver packages generated are all non-WHQL. But Pete's Zadig has the feature to sign the driver package to prevent the security prompt. Ref: https://github.com/pbatard/libwdi/wiki/FAQ In Zadig, click Options menu and then uncheck "Sign Catalog and Install Autogenerated Certificate" and then you should see the security prompt for the driver packages generated by Zadig. -- Xiaofan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
