How to Disable Driver Verifier on Windows 10?
the verifier settings are stored in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\VerifyDrivers
and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\VerifyDriverLevel
. Delete both entries to get rid of Driver Verifier.
I'm going to leave this here for anyone who has the same problem I did:
- Click on "See advanced repair options"
- Go to "Troubleshoot"
- Tap on "Advanced Options"
- Click on "Start-up Settings"
- Press 4 to start up in safe mode
- Once you're logged in, type
run
- Type
verifier.exe
- Click "delete existing settings"
- Go to the start menu and click "restart"
Hope this helps. I was in a frustrating loop where NOTHING was disabling driver verifier, but this worked for me, so I hope it does for you too.
