Microsoft automatically suspended Partner Center developer accounts that failed a mandatory Windows Hardware Program verification, blocking maintainers of high-profile open-source projects (WireGuard, VeraCrypt, MemTest86, Windscribe) from publishing Windows updates and patches; developers report no prior notification, difficulty contacting support, and slow reinstatement processes.
