Windows 11 22H2 WHQL requires INF file pass "InfVerif /k", which highlights
several issues
- PnpLockdown=1 needs to be specified
- CoInstallers are no longer allowed
The CoInstaller has several functions that will need alternative solutions:
- The AllowUpdate mechanism is no longer possible
- The safety checks that ensure interface versionings remain compatible
- The writing of 'current' network identifiers to the registry in order to
copy network settings.
Interface safety checks need to be handled by changes to child device bindings,
and assuming upgrade via emulated devices is safe. The unplug key is cleared
in the INF to revert to emulated NICs on the next boot, incase the current child
drivers rely on an interface that is no longer present (note: in this case,
child drivers will need updating).
