> For Windows signing, use Azure Trusted Signing

I recently checked it out as an alternative to renewing our signing cert, but it doesn't support issuing EV certs.

I've understood it as having an EV code signing cert on Windows is required for drivers, but somehow also gives you better SmartScreen reputation making it useful even for user space apps in enterprisey settings?

Not sure if this is FUD spread by the EV CA's or not though?

Im not sure if they're technically considered EV but mine is linked to my corporation and I get no virus warnings at all during install.
