If in doubt, look into setting up a virtual machine.
Please note that I take no responsibility for any damage that may be caused by using this method. Note that there's also a potential security risk here (the update disabled the secdrv.sys driver for a reason, after all), so do this at your own risk! If you're unsure of how to run these commands yourself, try these batch files that automate the process. To run an elevated command prompt, type CMD in the Search bar, right click the CMD program that it finds, and Run as administrator. Use the sc config secdrv start= demand and sc config secdrv start= disabled commands, for an easy on/off toggle. To manually stop the driver’s service, type the following command: To manually start the driver’s service, type the following command: To enable the driver’s service (and to set it to automatic), type the following command: To set the driver’s service to manual, type the following command: To disable the driver’s service, type the following command:
You should press Enter after you type each command. and here on My Online Security: Type the following commands at an elevated command prompt. The steps are outlined here on Microsoft Support: If you're not that savvy with computers though, I'd recommend getting someone who is to do it for you.
This one also requires a little know-how, but it's a lot quicker to do than setting up a virtual machine. Reactivate the secdrv.sys service manually Manually check for updates, find the one with the number KB3086255, right-click on it and choose "Hide This Update".ģ. Restart the computer, then enter the Windows Update menu in the Control Panel again. From that list, find the update with the number KB3086255, right-click on it and remove it. In the Control Panel, go to Windows Update, then the Installed Updates list. I'd definitely recommend setting this up if you have the know-how (or have a friend/family member that does) and enjoy retro gaming. Generally speaking, this is a good way of getting older Windows based games to work, though it does require a bit of computer know-how (and a legal copy of Windows). If you've got an old disc for Windows 98, 2000, or XP lying around, you can use VMWare or VirtualBox to set up a virtual machine. Run those games in a virtual machine, using Windows 98/2000/XP While there is little real danger of re-enabling this driver, you do so at your own risk.ġ. Reactivate the secdrv.sys service manuallyįortunately, there are a couple of workarounds.
