Issue when using v4.01 on Win7x64

Hi,
I get this error message (sorry it's in French) when I use IFW v4.01 on a Win7 PC (click on thumbnail to enlarge)

It basically says that some drivers are not signed.
I never got this with 3.64 version nor 4.01 on Win10.
Does that mean that V4 is not Win7 compatible ?
Thanks,
Regards,

It basically same issue as
viewtopic.php?t=4225
The driver has a SHA1 signature on it but it's not crossed signed because the MS cross-signing certificate is expired and they won't be issuing a new one. The SHA256 signature is from MS themselves. If you don't use meta-data option, those drivers aren't needed/used anyway.

Thanks for your reply. 2 remarks :
1/ Regarding the link at the beginning, I would like to mention that version 3.64 works fine on that Win7 system. Issue occurs only with V4.x.
2/ I do use meta-data option in the general settings but especially in the backup of changes setting, to speed up the process, I would like to keep that option (for speed)
So I guess I have to keep using v 3.64...
Sincerely

You would either have to ignore the MS warning/turn off the driver restriction or use the old drivers, but the old drivers have a CVE: CVE-2024-31757
