HideAway V4.3.4 Won't Install Because of Unsigned Driver

Mon Oct 14, 2019 7:48 am

I cannot install the latest HideAway (V4.3.4). I am running Windows 7 SP1 with latest updates.

Windows complains that the driver is unsigned, and that "Windows requires all drivers to have a valid digital signature... Uninstall the program or device that uses this driver and check the publisher's support website to get a digitally signed driver."

The details provided with the error message are:
Driver: HideAway Driver
Service: HideAway
Publisher: Windows (R) Win 7 DDK provider
Location: C:\Windows\System32\ drivers\hideaway.sys

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Hi there

The driver is signed (by Microsoft), but it's likely that you don't have all the Windows 7 updates for certificate signing.

So, you must have ignored or not applied all the updates that are available. Can you check with Windows Update as there are probably some extra updates to apply.

Thanks

I found some updates I'd missed, and that seems to have solved the problem.

Thanks!
