Video Fidelity Requirements will Remain Optional In response to feedback from our partners, the video fidelity requirements (STREAM-0082, STREAM-0083, STREAM-0084, and STREAM-0085) will not be required.  The Windows Logo Kit (WLK) currently treats these tests as optional only, so no changes will be made to the WLK in order to ensure that partners interested in testing the video fidelity of their device may continue to do so. Process for Obtaining a PnP-X Vendor ID You can request a Plug-and-Play Extensions (PnP-X) Vendor ID from winqual@microsoft.com. You will receive an email that contains a table with a Vendor ID assignment. The PNP-X ID column of the table lists a number. Use this number for the VEN_XXXX file in the PnP-X X_hardwareId tag. For example, if the number listed in the PNP-X ID column in the table is 1234, the corresponding field would be VEN_1234.
