It seems that although it might be possible to sign the driver with azure trusted signing certificate instead of EV certificate which Microsoft is strongly recommend, It still being required/enforced to have EV certificate available first in order to enroll in Microsoft Windows Hardware Developer Program.

Will there be any plan to allow Azure Trusted Signing Certificate to be used to sign the driver (at least for Attestation sign drivers) without requiring another external authorized EV third party certificate in the future?
