Description
Driver signing changed in Windows 10 1607 Version:
Microsoft said:
Starting with new installations of Windows 10, version 1607, the previously defined driver signing rules will be enforced by the Operating System, and Windows 10, version 1607 will not load any new kernel mode drivers which are not signed by the Dev Portal. OS signing enforcement is only for new OS installations; systems upgraded from an earlier OS to Windows 10, version 1607 will not be affected by this change.
If your driver doesn't have Microsoft Windows Hardware Publisher Certificate (For Example:IDM Browser WFP Driver), Windows will block the installation of this driver.
So Does Virtualbox should get a Microsoft Certificate?

Actually 5.1.12 contains the intermediate solution. The certificate for the kernel drivers is valid for a longer time. This is not the final solution but I will close this ticket nevertheless.
Please at least remove the link from the 3rd party site.
