Hi Tim
The reference that stuck in my mind about change of behaviour for a Windows
10 update was from a post by Alex Ionescu on 20 Jul 15 10:21 in
http://www.osronline.com/showThread.CFM?link=268227
"Interestingly, CI also checks for a special registry key which indicates if
this was an "updated platform", and allows non-EV certs if so. "
So the question is, is there any such registry key and if so how does it
affect signing requirements (or anything else for that matter)?
Mike
(Agree about how good this whole thread is BTW!)

I am no expert, but I did read that signing rules are different between
(a) Windows 10 installed as a field update to WIndows 7 or 8, and
(b) A new installation of Windows 10.
Regrettably I can't remember in which of the many messages on the ntdev
WIndows 10 signing thread this was mentioned.
Hmm. I don't remember reading that, and I'm not sure I believe it. I
just went through all 211 messages in that thread (which may be one of
the most amazingly useful technical threads the web has ever seen), and
I don't see this upgrade exception mentioned.
You're talking about a very specific set of circumstances here. It
would mean that a driver signed with a non-EV certificate that was
issued after August 1 would load on an upgrade, but not on a new
install. I'm dubious.
Could this affect whether signing with the pre RTM certificates will work
on
new installations?
THAT one I can answer. Drivers signed with pre-RTM certificates work
fine on a new install. The question here is the treatment of post-RTM
certificates. If your hypothesis is true, then such a driver should
work on an upgrade but not on a new install.
