Windows Server Development TeamElden_Christensen - Thanks for your response and having this fixed in future release of Server OS version.
- By 'next release' do you mean a new Windows Server 202x or an update to Windows Server 2022?
- Elden_Christensen
Vince Averello the next release
. There was WS2019... then WS2022... and then the next one. That's what is also discussed in the Ignite presentation.
Elden_Christensen good job listening to the community, thanks!
- I apologize in advance for the amateurish question. But what do you mean by "the next Iteration of Windows Server"? Do you mean Windows Server 2022 updates in December? Or Windows Server 2024-2025 which has not even been announced yet?
Karl-WE, Yash_Shekar That's great, finally! But note one more as well:
In Windows Server versions prior to 2022, you could take drivers from Windows 10, modify their .inf files for the Server, and install them in no signature verification mode. And this method worked not only with the Bluetooth drivers (including HIDs, gamepads, and other client OS drivers), but also with third-party drivers whose .infs needed to be changed for whatever reason.
Whereas in 2022, client Windows drivers fail to start with a no signature error. I don't know if the WS2022 issue extends to drivers other than the client ones, but if so, this issue should definitely be fixed as various hardware depends on it.
And if you ask me, I think the best possible solution is to let administrators (PC Masters if you will, a concept that is forgotten these days) choose which drivers should run, regardless of their signatures or the Windows version specified in their .inf files. And, of course, face well-described errors if the chosen drivers fail to run.
- btw do you know what to do with these files and how to install them in windows 10? would love to have a step by steps what to do..
- and thats based on the Win 11 OS? the UI is horrible though.
