Driver installation in Windows 8.1 (Blue)

SymptomSymptom:
ATTENTION! This manual is only required for older SilverFast 8 versions. Since version 8.0.1r51 a certified driver is available for most devices.


A driver can not be installed in Windows 8.1 (Blue).

(In case you are using the previous Windows 8.0 please follow these instructions)

ProblemProblem:
The driver does not have a Windows 8.1 signature.

SolutionSolution:
To install these drivers follow these steps:
(You might want to print this out if possible)

First open the Settings by pressing Win-key + C to bring up the icon bar.




Select Change PC-Settings at the bottom of the menu.




In the PC settings select Update/Recovery.



Then select Restart Now from Recovery.



The reboot can take some time. After the reboot a blue selection screen comes up.


Choose Troubleshoot

 

This menu will follow:
 


Choose Advanced Options.

Then the following menu appears:

Choose Windows Startup Settings.
Next click Restart.

Now the computer will restart and the boot menu appears. 

Choose 7) Disable Driver signature Enforcement from the menu. 


Now windows will start. You can go on with the installation of the unsigned driver.
Please be aware that installing unsigned drivers is done on your own risk. If in doubt please contact the driver manufacturer. In most cases this is the manufacturer of the scanner hardware. In case of Nikon and Reflecta devices SilverFast installs the drivers. For Reflecta devices install SilverFast after this procedure. In case of questions regarding Nikon driver installation please continue here.
