Third Party Driver

  • Article

This is to ensure that there is no 3rd party driver for a Windows pen device that is connected via a Windows-supported bus.

Test name

  • 3rd Party Driver

Core requirements tested

  • Device.Input.Digitizer.Pen.ThirdPartyDrivers.

Test purpose

  • Verifies that the pen does not have a 3rd party driver if the device is on a USB, I²C, or Bluetooth bus.

Tools required

  • None.

Validation steps

  1. Run the test case for 3rd party drivers.

  2. In the dialog box that appears, answer "Yes" if your device is on a USB, I²C, or Bluetooth bus, otherwise, answer "No."

Note: If wake-on-touch is enabled, answer "No" to the "Is the following input device on an in-box supported bus?" question, even if the input device is on an in-box supported bus. Answering "No" under any other cases when on an in-box supported bus is a violation of policy.

Common error messages

  • "Must not require additional drivers."

    Occurs if the pen fails the third party driver requirement.

Passing criteria
