Have you noticed? The number of test items in Windows HLK 24H2 has decreased compared to 23H2.
Today, I just installed the 24H2 version of the HLK and was preparing to give it a try. I noticed that for the same test target, the 24H2 version only has a few (less than 5) test tabs (playlist not loaded), whereas the 23H2 version has more than 60. I'm not sure what updates have caused this, can anyone help explain?
hardware dashboard
Hellow. I want submit .hlkx files with tests results from HLK Studio through web pages on https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard/home. I created a free tenant with Global Admin rights on the Azure portal. I added the Hardware program. Since then, an error has been reported when trying to connect to this program - Page not found. When i test web page https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard/Registration/Tenant/Hardware?step=GetStarted?step=GetStarted# - Reported error 404 Resource not found. I found sample program HardwareApiCSharpSample on microsoft web pages. It was created only token with it and for create Product (for files hlkx submission) the same problem - Reported errr 404 Resource not found. I dont known where is problem and what way send the hlkx files to certificate program portal. Can you help me.HLK-Testing: How to set "QueryValidationDriverFolder" parameter for HLK Test named "ApiValidator"
When starting the HLK-Test named "ApiValidator" test parameter settings are not offered to me. The test therefore fails because QueryValidationDriverFolder parameter string is empty. When I export the Test-Run and modify the parameter in the exported file run.cmd to indicate the correct folder, the test is successful in the exported TestRun, but when I trigger the test via the HLK-Studio it again fails. WHERE am I supposed to set this parameter so it is used when running via HLK-Studio? Thanks in advance, Erich Smutny
Bluetooth device connection problems
We have built a HID/MIDI multifunction device and are having connection problems only on Windows (works on iOS, Mac, Android). It only happens on some Windows PCs. I think it happening because Windows rejects several connection parameter requests and then terminates the connection, but I don't know why it is doing that. I've attached a packet capture from BTVS. You can see in frame 297 a connection parameter update request is rejected, and then in frame 299 the host sends a disconnect. Could you confirm this is what is happening, help me understand why Windows is terminating the connection, and what we can do about it?

Hi、technical advisor I would like to confirm whether the driver date has a higher priority than the driver version when updating the driver through windows update. For example: I have a driver, the version is 2.0.0.354, the driver date is 2021/10/22, because the test found that there is a problem with this driver, the manufacturer changed the inf file and re-passed WHQL, and the driver version is still 2.0.0.354, It's just that the driver date has changed to 2021/10/25, I released a new driver through WU, it was a critical release, and I checked "Automatically delivered during Windows Upgrades" and "Automatically delivered to all applicable systems", this new driver Will it be downloaded and installed automatically? Will the new driver be automatically downloaded and installed for devices that have activated the Windows operating system, while the new drivers will only be downloaded and not automatically installed for devices that have not been activated for OEM testing?thank you very much!Driver Signing for pre-Windows 2016 questions
I have some questions about what the recommendations are for generating a signed driver for Windows 2016 and earlier. I set up the HCK test server (2008 R2) and test system(2012 R2), installed my driver, ran the appropriate tests, and generated an HCKX. I do NOT have access to my EV Certificate on the HCK test server. I generated an unsigned .hckx file, and am trying to use the HLK Studio (which DOES have access to our EV Certificate) to sign it. Ideally, I'd like to end up with a driver that runs on Windows 2008 R2 (x64) through Windows 2022. We've run the HLK tests against Windows 2019 successfully, and I am able to submit that to the Hardware Dev Center and get a signed driver that works on 2016, 2019, and 2022. I was attempting to use the "merge" capabilities in the HLK Studio to bring in the .hckx file that we created on the HCK controller system. To do this, I created a new project and chose "Connect", and loaded the previous .hlkx file. Then I chose "merge" and added the .hckx file. I cleared the Drivers Folder that was pointing to my user TEMP directory, and added a single Drivers folder that contains the driver that we tested on both systems (2012 R2 and 2019). The Driver Properties lists both "Windows Server v10.0 17763" and "Windows Server v6.3" - I highlighted both of those, and added the English locale. Then I added a Symbols folder. I signed the resulting .hlkx file with our EV Certificate and uploaded it for signing at the HW Dev Center. The resulting download contains a signed copy of the driver, but the Microsoft signature is SHA256 (which I don't believe will work on 2012 R2). I tried installing it on a 2012 R2 system - won't boot. Any idea what I need to do differently to get this to work? Thanks! Ernie Coskrey
