The main reason for running Windows on Robotino is to run Matlab or LabView directly on Robotino. This gives you fast access to the Robotino platform and local access to other devices that are handled directly by Matlab or LabView.
On Windows 10 you have to disable disable Signed Driver Enforcement:
BCDEDIT -Set LoadOptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS BCDEDIT -Set TESTSIGNING ON
After installing the daemons package you can reenable it:
