Jason,

When requesting assistance it is important that you be specific about
the variables in your environment:

 * what version of Windows are you using?   You say Windows 10
   but Windows 10 is a moniker that describes every version of
   Windows shipped since 29 July 2015 as well as many different
   variants?

   home, professional, educational, enterprise, tablet, mobile, IoT, ...

   x64, x86, arm, ...

   Within each variant there are major milestone releases with
   different features and requirements.

* what version of OpenAFS are you installing and whose packaging?


If you are not already aware, the OpenAFS client for Windows 1.7.x is
implemented with several "system" component extensions

 * two file system drivers

 * two network provider dlls.  one for authentication and one for
   interfacing with the file system drivers to support drive letter
   mapping, path evaluation, etc.

 * a system service

 * a suite of file explorer object classes

All of the OpenAFS MSIs and the binaries included within them were
signed by Your File System, Inc. with a SHA1 hash.  Microsoft has warned
for years that SHA1 code signing would be deprecated.  Due to additional
weaknesses in SHA1 hashes Microsoft and Mozilla decided to accelerate
the deprecation process.

 https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2015/11/04/sha-1-deprecation-update/=


While SHA1 signed MSIs are still accepted, SHA1 signed system binaries,
depending upon the Windows variant and domain policy, are not.   An
attempt to install a system binary on a system that requires SHA2
signatures will fail.

Also, it is important to note that as of Windows 10 version 1607 the new
driver signing requirements for file system drivers are being enforced.

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/windows_hardware_certification/2016/07/2=
6/driver-signing-changes-in-windows-10-version-1607/

However, I doubt that this is the cause of the problems you are
experiencing.    Last night I clean installed the 1607 professional 1607
build on both x86 and x64.  The AuriStor distributed OpenAFS for Windows
installers (1.7.3301) that utilize the AuriStor (formerly Your File
System) packaging installed successfully on both systems and the client
operated as expected.   The drivers included in this installer are
accepted under the grandfather exception for cross-signing certificates
issued before 29 June 2015.
