How to automate the "Windows Security" window: "Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software"

This should be a simple question that should have a simple solution...yet nothing that I have tried works. My question is why? Is there a security feature in Microsoft preventing sending keys to "Security Windows"?

enter image description here

AutoiT attempt (does not work):

WindWait("Windows Security")
Send("{DOWN}")
Sleep(10)
Send("{ENTER}")

I have also tried/look at this question

I have tried to do this in C++ and in C# and I can only get the window to become the active window but when I send keys to it it ignores it.

Below are some of the places that I have look in order to suppress or automate this window:

Windows 7 - Disable signature verification of drivers

Permanently disable driver signature enforcement on Win 7 x64

How to disable driver signing in Windows 7 SP1

Disabling digital driver signing in Windows 7

Windows - Suppress "Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software"

All "solutions" from the above links don't work. I have been searching for an answer for more than 2 days now.

If someone can tell a successfully way to suppress/automate this I (and everyone that wants to know how to do this too) will really appreciated.

I know this is old, but I just came across this issue as well.
I was able to solve it by using the following once the window was active:

ControlClick("Windows Security", "", "[CLASS:Button;INSTANCE:2]")

It did not work if I included the TEXT:&Install this driver software anyway in the control ID.

Are you able to identify the window using the Win... functions? If so you could try using MouseClick:

$aPos = WinGetPos("Windows Security")
MouseClick("left", $aPos[0]+50, $aPos[1]+100)

First get the position of the window, then add some pixels so that when you do a right-click with the mouse you click the appropriate button. Of course you need to adjust the number of pixels to add to the x-/y-axis.
