Windows Test Mode ​

SARD Anti-Cheat does not support Windows Test Mode.

What Is Test Mode? ​

Test Mode allows Windows to load test-signed or unsigned drivers and is intended for development and driver testing.

How to Disable Test Mode ​

  1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
  2. Run:
bat
bcdedit /set testsigning off
  1. Restart your PC.

How to Check ​

If Test Mode is enabled, you may see a Test Mode watermark on your desktop.

Still Not Working? ​

If Test Mode is disabled but the issue remains:

  1. Restart your PC.
  2. Run the command again in an elevated Command Prompt.
  3. Contact support and include your Support Code.

What Is This? ​

Test Mode weakens normal Windows driver trust checks. SARD Anti-Cheat requires standard production security settings to operate correctly.
