Completely messed up my registry, mouse and other devices won’t reinstall due to policy. #271

Today i’ve overclocked my mouse with success. I’ve replaced the hidusbf.sys file from the 1khz. It did not work with Windows on normal mode. So I had to open CMD and input the following commands:

bcdedit /set testsigning on bcdedit /set nointegritychecks on

This worked just fine. I tried playing games with this and it doesn’t work because of the anti cheat detecting test mode. So I turned it back to 125hz, and rebooted my pc with the cmd settings turned back off. My mouse was not working and it was showing blank in the setup.exe under all devices along with a red color.

Following that, I turned it back to test mode and looked up how to properly run it on the normal mode. I made the error of not reading carefully enough so I had mixed up secure boot with test mode. The thread explained how you can turn up the polling rate in secure boot. But first a few changes had to be made to the registry. I’m not sure which changes were made exactly but the changes were made with the following registries;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Policy > UpgradedSystem

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Policy > Whqlsettings

In the heat of the mess i’ve gotten myself in, I found that my mouse does not work neither on test mode or normal mode. I looked up a guide, also on this or another site for the polling rate change, that explained I had to delete hidusbf.sys from system32\drivers and from there windows would automatically reinstall the driver.

This did not happen. Instead i’ve gotten an error trying to reconnect my mouse once again saying “This installation is forbidden by system policy. contact your system administrator.” Not only for the mouse, but anything I connect to my PC will not install the drivers. I’m clueless as to what to do and I want to change everything back to default. Restoration also is not an option for me since I have important files on my system. I’m confident I can somehow reverse my changes. Writing this is my last straw and I hope you can help.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

Found the issue. I’m going to read the readme super carefully now. It’s sad it’s such a complicated process trying to get it to work with Windows 11.
