The "drivers" are located here:

https://github.com/beagleboard/beaglebone-getting-started/tree/master/Drivers/Windows

Still waiting on GoDaddy for and update certificate, so we can 're-sign' them..

If you have your own "business" windows driver cert, the source for
the driver is located in the sub folder..

I do not believe there are any signed drivers for Win10 yet. I also would not expect any for a while either. Due to MS's dodgy EULA for Windows 10.

You can disable driver signing though.

The drivers are signed for 10, but the certificate expired. I got paperwork to GoDaddy 2 days ago to get it renewed. Waiting for them to call to verify. They had been calling the wrong number for weeks. Might still need to get them a note from a lawyer that will cost pointless money, but we'll see.

Yikes ! And my bad I had not realized. Too bad so many of us suckers feel compelled to use Windows in the first place. I've been using MS OSes since DOS 5, and now . . . I couldn't say what OS I'll be using passed Windows 8. For the desktop that is.

Just an update. Had to get a lawyer involved because the old letter had a phone number that wasn't getting answer. Still waiting on Godaddy to call me to verify.

Finally, here are the drivers signed for Windows 10 to try: https://github.com/beagleboard/beaglebone-getting-started/releases/tag/1.1.2 

Please let me know how it goes, good or bad. I don't have a Windows 10 machine.

You need a lawyer to have a call back from GoDaddy? It's a cruel capitalism world :)

Any ideas when the build will be available?  I've noticed the link on the getting started page still points to the one with the old signature.

http://beagleboard.org/getting-started now points to the newly signed
Windows drivers.

On clean windows 7 / 8 / 10 machines, the drivers are showing as unsigned again, for me. Any chance that anything changed over the new year?

They worked for me on a fresh windows 10 install.

As of when? I tried them on several windows 10 machines today (trying to set up a teaching lab) and they show unsigned.

Can you post the checksum of the binaries and a screenshot?

The MD5 sum looks good. I noticed your screenshot showed an issue with the FTDI driver, which is only on the BeagleBone (original white/bone version).

Does the network and virtual serial work?

There could be something wrong in my FTDI driver signing step as I don't think that has been previously verified. The binaries come from the FTDI website.

Important steps seem to be:

Anyone see a element of concern?

I disabled driver signature requirement and the driver install worked after that.
Search for "disable signature requirement for drivers windows 10".
If I remember correctly you restart while holding shift, (press shift then click on restart). Then after restart navigate to screen with 10-15 options, choose disable signature requirement for drivers.
