    Hi,


    Thank you for sharing your solution with us. You can also used this manual method:


    Manual Method:

    1 - Go to windows 10 settings and search for "advanced startup options"

    2 - Under Advanced startup, hit "Restart now"

    3 - After a moment, you'll get a "choose an option" screen - choose "Troubleshoot", then "Advanced options", then "Startup Settings"

    4 - You'll get a screen telling you what you will be able to change and a single "Restart" button - press it.

    5 - If your boot drive is BitLocker encrypted, you'll need to enter the recovery key (press return, enter the key in the text box then hit return again - it took me three goes to realize I had to hit return before I could enter they key !)

    6 - You'll be given a menu of options, number 7 disables driver signature enforcement

    7 - When the PC restarts, use Device manager to update the drivers - this time you'll get a warning about the signature, but they install fine.

    8 - When you've finished, restart normally to re-enable signature enforcement


    I will proceed to close this case.


    Regards,

    Aiman

All,

After posting the above, I remembered finding a solution at Terasic for a similar error while installing the USB-Ethernet driver. I had assumed, incorrectly as it turns out, that disabling signature enforcement is a permanent change.

It isn’t, and reapplying this procedure, which is much simpler (and safer I would think) than the Intel article I cited previously, solved the current problem with the JTAG driver too. Below is the link and the step-by-step:

Thanks,

  1. Click the Start menu and select Settings:
  2. Click Updating&Security:
  3. Click on Recovery, then click Restart now under Advanced Startup.
  4. Click Troubleshoot
  5. Click Advance Options:
  6. Click Start-Up Settings:
  7. Click Restart:
  8. On the Startup Settings screen press 7 or F7 to set "Disable driver signature enforcement".
  9. Your computer will restart and you will be able to install non-digitally signed drivers. [For this start only.]
