Support for Secure Boot was introduced in Windows 8.<\/p>\n<p>When the PC starts, the firmware checks the signature of each piece of boot software, including firmware drivers (Option ROMs), EFI applications, and the operating system. If the signatures are good, the PC boots, and the firmware gives control to the operating system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A solution, which is also recommended by Microsoft, is to disable the Secure Boot BIOS option. We recently published a Technical Note in our Knowledge Base:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.audiomatica.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/technote_009.pdf\">Disabling Secure Boot to Install Audiomatica CLIO Drivers<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>In order to run Audiomatica products it is mandatory to DISABLE SECURE BOOT.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Audiomatica always strive to provide the best products at reasonable cost.<\/p>\n<p>Getting a device driver co-signed by Microsoft would definitely lead to an increase of production costs and would have a negative impact on products pricing.<\/p>\n<p>Please check if your PC BIOS Secure Boot option can be deactivated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting from\u00a0Windows 10 version 1607 Microsoft has\u00a0tightened the Windows Drivers signing policy.
