I’ve spent the morning getting to grips with MAKECAB so I can submit a cab file for Attestation signing, and am now grappling with Microsoft websites.
I’m trying to log in to the HardWare Dev Center Dashboard without success. I registered my organisation with the Hardware Center back in August 2016.
I’ve tried: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/dashboard-sign-in
which says I’m signed in, but only has a “Sign in” button to proceed further.
I click sign in and get to https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard/directory
The web page seems to be improperly formed and does not seem to have a navigation pane - just a black section - and the settings don’t function.
Is anyone else having problems with this?
So… I had to “sign in” twice. Once in the upper right. Then when I got to the “Windows Hardware Dev Center dashboard” page, there was a sign-up link ON THE PAGE (that says, helpfully, “SIGN IN >”) I clicked on that, and voila! I was in my dashboard, which is (for driver projects):

Peter,
This still doesn’t work for me using Internet Explorer 11 under Windows 7. I wonder if you have to use Edge on a Windows 10 machine? The web pages are displayed weirdly but become a bit more coherent when I reduce the size of the window to iPhone size. However it appears to get stuck in a loop back and forth between the same pages. I’ll fire up my Windows 10 machine tomorrow as it’s gin time now.

I have experienced (and complained about) the page looping. It can be cleared up by cleaning out your browser cache. Is that a sign of a poorly implemented web page? Yes, it absolutely is, but doing so did solve the problem for me. You may be able to delete only the Microsoft cookies.

I sure HOPE not, because Edge has so many bugs, its impossible to use.
In any case, I find the MSFT web sites among the least Edge compatible.
I use Chrome, in case it matters.

I think I’m getting somewhere.
Apparently the SYSDEV dashboard is now legacy and I had to set up an Azure account to get anywhere. You have to be logged into the dashboard with a “.onmicrosoft.com” username, not “passport.com”.
This appears to have solved the problem with web pages getting stuck in a loop.
The https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard/hardware/driver web site still does not display properly with Exporer 11.
