Cant install Drivers for Laserjet pro mfp m176n (fatal error ocured)

[AlexPupkin]

Hi! Tried to install drivers for my mfp, but always got a fatal error. Searching internet for that problem i learned that its kinda win 10 one of updates problem, cause they made something with driver certificates. I tried many soluthions but i always got errors. Even latest downloaded from hp drivers, when i tried to install them manualy given me an error "printer driver is incompatible with a policy that blocks nt4.0 drivers". I tried to disable that politic in gpedit.msc, that not helps. Tried to disable secure boot in bios, that not helps too... and many other tries. So dont no what to do with this, pls help.

Dear Sir,

I carefully followed the procedure you indicated to install the Color Laserjet pro MFP m176n printer.

1. I have modified the registry of Windows 10 adding the key https://www.dropbox.com/s/avbv56zdgwv7600/kernel.reg?dl=1
2. I renamed the W64x86 driver to old as shown.
3. I restarted the PC.
4. I reinstalled the printer with "Color_LJPro_MFP_M176_full-slution_15321", but it was "fatal error"

Please give me instructions, thank you.
