InfVerif tool validation checks (Error 1217 and 1330-1333) are enforced with the release of Windows 11, version 21H2 after two years relaxation. These validations will be performed on every Driver submissions for the Windows Hardware Compatibility Program (WHCP) made to the Partner Center(Hardware Dev Center). These validation check points were initially introduced in Windows 10, version 1903 (InfVerif validation) but enforcement was relaxed to give partners sometime to prepare for the change. This enforcement will help us ensure the reliability of driver packages and reduce the install failures. Please find additional details on errors below
