Windows 10 Won't Install UNSIGNED Sena Device Manager Drivers
After a couple of hours of frustration in which Sena Device Manager wouldn't recognize my SMH5s, I checked my USB connection through Sena's USB Checker (which I only found out about on YouTube -- it's in the program files, thanks for not bothering to tell anybody, Sena). Then, using the same YouTube advice, I tracked down the Sena Device Manager under Windows Device Manager and found the little "Exclamation Mark," meaning that Windows 10 won't accept Sena's drivers because they are UNSIGNED. There's even a Sena driver installer (also hidden among the program files) that conveniently installs the same UNSIGNED drivers that Windows refuses to use. Go ahead and have Windows check for the latest drivers. Windows will happily tell you that you have the latest drivers -- it just won't use them because they're UNSIGNED. This situation is completely inexcusable and it's 100% the fault of Sena. You can install and reinstall Sena Device Manager all day long but it will never work because Windows won't recognize UNSIGNED drivers. Supposedly there is a way around to trick your computer into installing UNSIGNED drivers but I'm not enough of a computer genius to do that, and what kind of a company uses UNSIGNED drivers, anyway? PATHETIC!

Hi, It is ridiculous that Sena have not provided a signed driver for their software! Nor have they bothered to provide a work around.
There are a number of ways to have Windows 10 install an unsigned driver (some are only temporary i.e. until you reboot your PC) They are explained in the link below:

My suggestion is try out the first solution (which is what I did) and check which software version is on your SMH10. I have 5.1.1 and it works fine so I'm not going to do any more upgrades. Upgrades from a company who's support doesn't provide a signed driver might be questionable, Better the devil you know...

Can Sena comment on this? The driver is still un-signed, and there's no way I'm installing it on my machine. Sena charges $200+ for their devices, it's unthinkable that they can't get their device driver's signed...

Windows 10 64-bit - same issue. Found out about this on advriders.com. SHAME ON YOU, Sena!
People need to keep this topic, and other like it, on top of the list by continuing to reply until Sena addresses this matter.

For what it's worth, I took Steve Bullard's advice and was able to install the UNSIGNED drivers. It's still pathetic that Sena ignores the issue AND ignores this thread. At least my Senas are working now, but when they die ... I'll remember Sena's lack of support.

Yeah I know. But the whole point of signing drivers is so a third party verifies that they're what they say they are and from whom they say they're from.

I have a CarX Street mod that I want to install, but it requires unsigned Sena Device Manager drivers. I'm running Windows 10, and I can't figure out how to install them. I've tried disabling driver signature enforcement, but that didn't work. Any ideas?

I'm trying to set up a modded APK for Car Parking Multiplayer on my Windows 10 system. However, I hit a roadblock because it demands the Sena Device Manager drivers, which aren't signed. I took a shot at turning off the driver signature enforcement, but no dice. Got any suggestions?

It is disgraceful that 5 years later Sena has still not addressed there problem or even responded to our requests. The Wndows 10 work around (see link above) worked for me. I chose not to do any more upgrades
Since then the Sena microphone stalk broke off where it attaches to the unit. I solved all my Sena problems and frustrations by purchasing a Cardo unit which has worked fine to date. Sena does not deserve our money.

I possess a Stumble Guys iOS application that I aim to set up, yet it necessitates Sena Device Manager drivers that lack the required signature. My operating system is Windows 10, and I'm encountering difficulties installing these drivers. I attempted to deactivate driver signature enforcement, but to no avail. Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this?
