64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows have a security feature called . This mandates that any kernel-mode driver must be digitally signed by a trusted authority to be loaded. This is critical for system integrity, but it can be an obstacle for developers, security researchers, or advanced users who need to test or run an unsigned driver. This is where wind64 (or WinD64 ) comes into play.
