Actually, don't do that yet :)

I just tried it and it all falls to pieces - it looks like xenhide isn't
playing by the rules. I don't think that this will be the cause of the
problem you are seeing, but it renders the drivers unbootable when the
verifier is enabled for it.

Maybe try unticking xenhide.sys from the list of drivers for now. I'll
look at fixing it properly.
