Hi @安全 亚信

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform!

To get the Microsoft Windows Early Launch Anti-Malware (ELAM) Publisher sign:

MVI Membership: Ensure you're part of the Microsoft Virus Initiative (MVI).

Develop ELAM Driver: Create an ELAM driver that meets Microsoft’s requirements.

Submit for Certification: Package your driver and submit it through the Windows Hardware Developer Center.

Get ELAM Sign: Once certified, Microsoft will sign your driver with the ELAM publisher certificate.

Hi Hima,

Our developer is checking. Now we are checking where the problem occurs.

I list the process of “sign” below. If possible, please help us check for possible problem areas.

1.We are MVI member.

2.Develop ELAM Driver: not sure about this. The driver is provided by developer. The work I am responsible for is the third step.

3.Package the driver with "Hardware Lab Kit", submit it through the Windows Hardware Developer Center.

4.Get the signed file, but "Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher".

Hi 安全 亚信,
Log into the Windows Hardware Developer Center:

Visit the Developer Center Dashboard and log in.

Create a New Submission:

Navigate to Submissions, then click New Submission.

Select Driver Type:

Choose the driver type. Look for ELAM. If it's missing, ensure the driver meets ELAM-specific criteria and is properly identified in metadata.

Run HLK Tests:

Run the required Hardware Lab Kit (HLK) tests, especially those for Secure Boot or Anti-Malware.

Upload the Driver Package:

Package the driver using HLK and upload it.

Review and Submit:

Ensure the certification type is set to ELAM, then submit. If the option doesn’t appear, verify the driver metadata and run the HLK tests again.
Ensure all security-related settings are enabled.
