I have a signed driver with custom INF file for customized USB device. How do i get signed for Win 11?

Question

I have a signed Win7/Win10 driver with custom INF file for customized USB device, a very common Cypress USB 2.0 HS chip. How do i get signed for Win 11?

I go in endless circles about how to do this. I would frankly be willing to pay a partner to help, but unable to connect with anyone. Microsoft won't even answer questions because i don't have a support subscription?!?

Anyone been through this BS?

Thanks,

Ron

Hello Ron,

Thank you for your question and for reaching out with your question today.

Getting a driver signed for Windows 11 involves several steps to ensure that your driver meets Microsoft's requirements for security and compatibility. Since Windows 11 comes with increased security measures, the driver signing process might be more rigorous than you've experienced with previous versions of Windows.

You should sign Up for Windows Hardware Developer Program.

Once your driver package is signed, you can submit it to Microsoft's Hardware Dev Center Dashboard. This is where you upload your driver for verification and signing. The Hardware Dev Center provides instructions for this process.
