While installing an application, I received a prompt to install a driver which had a checked checkbox next to the text "Always trust software from [company]":
!["Always trust software from [company]"](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Jq9ah.png)
Since there have been instances of certificates being stolen and used to install malware, I consider "always trusting" any certificates (other than the preinstalled ones) poor security practice. Consequently, I always uncheck the checkbox. However, I'd like to not have to do that every time, so:
Is there a Windows setting that makes this checkbox unchecked by default?

It seems that you could try to use the command:
certutil -addstore "TrustedPublisher" MyCertificate.cer RELATED LINK:http://www.migee.com/2010/09/24/solution-for-unattendedsilent-installs-and-would-you-like-to-install-this-device-software/
1@daidai That seems to do the opposite of what I'm asking for. – Miroslav Policki – 2019-06-29T16:10:11.870
