Ceritification for non-UI based application

Hello,

I have to work with a ODM/OEM to develop a console application which needs to be run as a background task during the system boot to support a hardware added.

I've gone through

Hardware Support App (HSA) Steps for App Developers - Windows drivers

1. But in my case, there is no UI required for the application, just need to run as background process.
   
2. The app need to access firmware environment variables to read the data from the UFEI.
3. As I understand, I think we do not have plan to distribute through Windows store as this would be specific to a particular hardware.

Could someone help suggest,

1. If this is right method to do it ? If not what would be right way to do it.
2. what kind of certification should I go through from Microsoft, so that ODM/OEMs can integrate the background tasks to the end system.

Thank You

 

Issues with UI scaling on only parts of the UI

I turned on my Windows 10 system to discover a weird issue with the UI where portions of the UI is massive and much of the rest of the UI is normal. The system was shut down the night prior through the start menu with no issues. Yes, the ui scale is set to 100% in the start menu and the resolution is set correctly.
Things that are too large:

• Chrome Tab Ribbon (but not the URL)
  
• desktop icon text
  
• most of file explorer
  
• right click on desktop menu
  

Things that appear normal:

• chrome body section
  
• taskbar
  
• the settings menu
  
• most other programs
