NOT READING DIGITAL SIGNTURE

[VikramTheGreat]

Hi @MOAZZAM5,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

If your HP Notebook 14s-dr1008tu running Windows 11 is showing a “not reading digital signature” error, it usually means that Windows is blocking a driver or boot file because it’s not properly signed or verified. This can happen after a Windows update, driver installation, or system corruption.
 

Here’s how to fix it:

1. Boot into Advanced Startup Options

1. Hold Shift and click Restart from the Start menu.
2. Select Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings.
3. Click Restart.
4. On the next screen, press F7 to Disable driver signature enforcement.

This will allow Windows to boot temporarily without enforcing digital signatures.

2. Update or Reinstall Drivers

Once booted:

• Go to HP Notebook 14s-dr1008tu Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Support 
• Download and install the latest:
  • Chipset drivers
  • BIOS/UEFI firmware
  • Touchpad, graphics, and network drivers

3. Run System File Checker

To fix any corrupted system files:

1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
2. Type: sfc /scannow
3. Press Enter and wait for the scan to complete.
    

I hope this helps.

Take care, and have an amazing day!
