    Hi Tech Guys,
    I'm facing a problem. I'm trying to start my windows (7 64bit, Ultimate, also tried on Proffessional) in test mode but unfortunately its not starting in it. I've tried "bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON" & "bcdedit.exe /set TESTSIGNING ON" both with administrative privileges to cmd and also tried "Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider" But still its not starting in test mode.
    Both Method successfully executed before restart but after restart, nothing happens. No logo appears over clock area of Desktop.

    The second listed cmd is wrong there should not be a / after exe and before set

    The first listed cmd appears correct

    Please see this
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...all/the-testsigning-boot-configuration-option

    Have you checked bcdedit to see if the windows boot loader shows
    testsigning - YES
    as per the image on the link

    Note Windows 7 displays watermartk in lower left corner of desktop

    Yes, I've checked that boot loader shows "Yes" for test-signing and I've also tried it on other computer with same windows edition and system specs where it worked successfully. I've reinstalled windows on my computer many times but the problem is still same. Can't figure out where am I wrong...

    So are you judging it is not working only because of the lack of the watermark

    Do not please be annoyed by the question
    Windows Ultimate
    Windows Professional

    Are these genuine licensed windows installations on which it does not appear to work

    Also you are executing that cmd at a C:\ prompt I presume
