Hi

I have a storage filter driver. Do i need to sign that driver from
microsoft. or simply add the UpperFilters of type REG_MULTI_SZ in this
location [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}]

thanks

Rahul,

The signing of the driver will eliminate the pop-up dialog you receive
during installation of your driver indicating you are installing a
non-verified driver. It is not required to have your driver signed to
install the driver.

Adding UpperFilters is enough.

Filters can be installed without the INF file or messing with PnP
installer.
