Windows App Certification


I am looking to get my company’s software application certified as compatible with Windows 10. I would like to show this certification as proof to my customers. I am not looking to put my company’s application in the Microsoft store. Do I need a developer's account to complete this certification process?

When I am running the Windows App Certification Kit I run into this message after the program runs.

“Testing cannot continue unless an application is successfully installed,
including a discoverable shortcut and an entry in add/remove programs.”

The application was installed successfully, the shortcut was created and it was added to the add/remove programs list in the control panel. I am wondering if anyone has encountered a similar issue and is there a developed solution to this message?

Are there any other forums I could post to that can help me with a resolution to this issue?

Thanks. Any insight is much appreciated.

What if my application is built on a client/server architecture. This points to how to certify the destop/client side of the solution. What about the server side...how do I certify it?

Hi,

Please ensure that your application has been installed to the correct folders.

There are some technical requirements and eligibility qualifications that a desktop app must meet in order to participate in the Windows 10 Desktop App Certification Program.

For detailed information, please refer to below.

Also, please follow the instructions in below article to use Windows App Certification Kit.

Hope the information helps.
