I started to make a Windows application with Windows 10 drivers.
Then, I noticed I need an EV code signing certificate for this.
So, I tried to find the way, and I found I can get this with 600$ for a year.
Does anyone know a free EV code signing certificate method?
There is no such thing as free trust.
For experimenting, you can install your own certificate on your test machines. This is free.
To distribute drivers to others, you'll need to find a sponsor who is interested in your work and agrees to sign your drivers.

I want to install our own certificate on our test machines. I used makecert and signtool for creating certificate for testing application but i do not success that running application. How i can create and sign a certificate? If my application is a release mode, i will buy a certificate.

EV Code Signing Certificates enable the strongest security to the signed software and also enhance developer reputation instantly by removing Sm,artScreen Filter for safe and faster user-based downloads; thus, they are not offered free by CAs. Its always an affordable option to get EV Code Signing Certificate from authorized resellers that offer the same cert at a much lesser price than CA I got my Comodo EV Code Signing Certificate from https://signmycode.com/comodo-ev-code-signing at just $149.99/per year, which is a way cheaper option!
