Try this: type "verifier" in a cmd window. In the Verifier app, select "Create Standard settings"

Then, select "Automatically select unsigned drivers"

and you'll find details of all unsigned drivers installed in your system.
I've used this many times (listing all drivers mode with changed test type params) to debug some BSODs.

I checked the tool and the script.. very useful and verbosing..
Well, I already have some nirsoft; they're nice ^^

I did the verifier and...
Well, it saw only one unsigned - a legacy StarForce DRM protection driver which I had forgot to have.
Downloaded the removal tool and it's gone forever.
Quite funny as I had suspected speedfan, aeroglass and ISO/TAP drivers.... but none of these was listed.
Then it came the 1703 update (probably is in CBB now). And it worked.
But, to avoid possible hangs, as these updates are huge, I used bcdedit to start in test mode before updating.
Every seems to work.
Why an update enable an hidden partition on D:\ - I have an old win10 copy there - it's a mystery for me.
Well, I'll hide it again.
I'll also try to go out from test mode - probably, without starforce windows will be fine.

Thanks ;)
