Windows 8.1? #67
|
Is there a version of HidHide that is compatible with Windows 8.1 (or 7)? When I tried installing it on 7, I thought it gave me a message box that it was only for 8.1 or newer, but it looks like the versions on the download tab are all for 10/11? And I was not able to get HidGuardian to work in 7 because of driver signature. Very frustrating. |

As stated literally everywhere on this project, no, nothing below Windows 10 is supported. Please forward your frustration to Microsoft who chose to not back port new kernel APIs to 8.1 and 7. That's life. From a kernel developer perspective anything below Windows 10 is dead and not worth developing for. Be my guest to port HidHide to Windows 7 yourself, it's open source after all. |

Actually on the project's READM it's written: I'd make a PR to change this but I checked and 1.13 is actually Win8 compatible, so I'm not sure if you are confusing this with another project that is Win10 only, like dshidmini. |

Heh, yeah because this is technically correct but since we can not sign for Win 8.x without WHQL procedure that is a showstopper. PR welcome 👍 |
