However, Microsoft quickly dismissed the claims, indicating that it didn't intentionally block partner accounts. It further elaborated that the impacted accounts hadn't complied with the mandatory account verification process for the Windows Hardware Program, which took effect in October 2025. However, it promised to reinstate suspended developer accounts.

The company is now living up to its promise and has rolled out a fast-track process, designed to help developers regain access to their suspended accounts
