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:

  1. Click on "See advanced repair options"
  2. Go to "Troubleshoot"
  3. Tap on "Advanced Options"
  4. Click on "Start-up Settings"
  5. Press 4 to start up in safe mode
  6. Once you're logged in, type run
  7. Type verifier.exe
  8. Click "delete existing settings"
  9. 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.
