To enroll in Microsoft's Windows Hardware Developer Program for kernel driver attestation signing

Hello Partner Compliance team and JillArmourMicrosoft,

We are an enterprise security software vendor trying to enroll in the Windows Hardware Developer Program so that we can attestation sign our own kernel-mode driver.

Current status:

- We followed the documented registration steps: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/dashboard/hardware-program-register

- We have a valid EV code signing certificate (not expired, not revoked)

- We signed in with our Microsoft Entra global administrator account

- The Hardware program status now shows Rejected

- There is no Fix now option available to correct anything

- Trying to enroll again is blocked

• With no Hardware workspace, we cannot raise a ticket through Help + support, and Services Hub asks for a paid support plan

What we have done:

- Submitted a request through the "Provide issue details" form for users who cannot sign in

- Ticket number: 2608030040002698

- So far we have received only the automated confirmation

Request:

Could someone please route this ticket to the Windows Hardware Program / Hardware Dev Center team? We would like to know the specific reason for the Rejected status so we can correct our Legal info, complete account verification and have the enrollment reactivated.

Our requirement is limited to attestation signing our own driver for Windows 10/11 client systems. We are not requesting Windows Update distribution.

We can share our Seller ID, tenant details, ticket number and screenshots privately.

Thank you for your help.
