### Repair unsigned drivers
[Drivers](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/drivers/gettingstarted/what-is-a-driver-) are files ending in *.dll or *.sys that are used to communicate with hardware components. Because drivers are so important, they are cryptographically signed to ensure they are genuine. Drivers with a *.sys extension that are not properly signed frequently block the upgrade process. Drivers might not be properly signed if you:

9. Locate drivers in the log file that are unsigned, write down the location and file names. Also write down the catalog that is associated to the driver if it is provided. If the name of a catalog file is not provided you might need to analyze another device that has the same driver with sigverif and sigcheck (described below).
10. The next step is to check that the driver reported as unsigned by sigverif.exe has a problem. In some cases, sigverif.exe might not be successful at locating the catalog file used to sign a driver, even though the catalog file exists. To perform a detailed driver check, download [sigcheck.zip](https://download.sysinternals.com/files/Sigcheck.zip) and extract the tool to a directory on your computer, for example: **C:\sigcheck**.

Updating firmware (such as the BIOS) and installing hardware drivers is a somewhat advanced task. Do not attempt to update BIOS if you aren't familiar with BIOS settings or are not sure how to restore the previous BIOS version if there are problems. Most BIOS updates are provided as a "flash" update. Your manufacturer might provide a tool to perform the update, or you might be required to enter the BIOS and update it manually. Be sure to save your working BIOS settings, since some updates can reset your configuration and make the computer fail to boot if (for example) a RAID configuration is changed.
Most BIOS and other hardware updates can be obtained from a website maintained by your computer manufacturer. For example, Microsoft Surface device drivers can be obtained at: [Download the latest firmware and drivers for Surface devices](https://docs.microsoft.com/surface/deploy-the-latest-firmware-and-drivers-for-surface-devices).

For example, Microsoft Surface device drivers can be obtained at: [Download the latest firmware and drivers for Surface devices](/surface/deploy-the-latest-firmware-and-drivers-for-surface-devices).
To obtain the proper firmware drivers, search for the most updated driver version provided by your computer manufacturer. Install these updates and reboot the computer after installation. Request assistance from the manufacturer if you have any questions.
