Kevin,

We have an INF file only (codeless) driver that fixes a Laptop HID sleep behavior by disabling Enhanced Pwoermanagement for the device via a registry entry. It was previously signed via Authenticode (when that was still sufficient) and has been out for more than a decade. The devices are still sold and in use. I have updated the CAB to support ARM64 laptops running Windows 11 and it is behaving correctly on that hardware.

Do I have to go through the whole testing process for this thing? Do I have to show testing for both x86_64 and ARM64 clients?

It would mean setting up a server and clients and would take a bit of study and time.

Or is there a shortcut for INFO only files?

Thanks,
