Enable Test Mode in Windows 10

If you’re like me and you run a software that requires ‘unsigned’ windows drivers to function properly, in my case the software I’m running is Librecrypt which is very useful as it enables me to mount my LUKS-encrypted hard drive on a Windows system.

To enable Test Mode on Windows, open an elevated command prompt (Press Start->Search->cmd then right-click on it and click Run as administrator) and enter the following command:

bcdedit /set testsigning on

and reboot after running the command above

To disable Test mode, open an elevated command prompt as above and enter the following command:

bcdedit /set testsigning off

and also reboot after running the above command

Once you reboot, there would be a watermark message as shown below that would confirm that Test Mode is on.
