Sorry for long delay. You can ask this question at WHQL support (you can find it at official WHQL page), they usually are very active and answer these questions accuratly.

Hello, Volodymyr!
I agree with you totally.
I just have one question if you can confirm that WHQL driver signing will really help us to suppress the dialog?
As Maxim and Pavel mentioned MSDN says that COPYFLG_NOSKIP flag can work without signature,
but actually it does not.
From MSDN: "COPYFLG_NOSKIP 0x00000002 Do not allow a user to skip copying a file"
Thanks for your help,
Konstantin

The driver requires signing which cost actually much money ($250 per
each OS for each version of drivers and each driver).
This will result in more than $2,000 for each release, because we use 3
drivers and support a lot of Windows OSs.
Yes, this topic appears from time to time here and the opinions are
discrepant. From one side it's hard to spent money and time on this, and
whql does not garantee the drivers are bugs free.
From another side, it actually allows to find out bugs like pnp handling,
driver verifier asserts, etc. So the idea is to make driver as stable as
possible, pass dtm tests and get whql and release it. If it is stable,
there will be no need to update untill next major release which might be
in 6-12 months. I suppose 2k USD is nothing for average company during 1
year?
