- | ====== Common drivers are unsigned and prompting for installation ====== | ||
- | When attaching a common device (a device which windows has build in drivers for) one is prompted with a dialog asking to search for the driver. Additionally under the device installation process one is prompted with an unsigned driver warning. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Cause ===== | ||
- | Files in the folder //%Systemroot%\System32\Catroot2// are corrupt. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Solution ===== | ||
- | Remove the //%Systemroot%\System32\Catroot2// directory. Windows will recreate a new one upon restart. | ||
- | |||
- | <note important> | ||
- | Take care not to delete the //%Systemroot%\System32\Catroot// directory as Windows will not recreate it. | ||
