Questions on Microsoft Q&A can be automatically deleted by the spam filter, even when they are legitimate and follow the Code of Conduct. This is a known behavior and has affected other users posting technical questions, including Windows/driver-related topics.
When a KMDF (or any driver-related) question is auto-deleted:
- The post is usually removed by the automated spam detection system, not by a person.
- Moderators can restore such posts when they are made aware of the issue.
To get help in this situation:
- Sign in to Microsoft Q&A and try posting the question again with all required fields (title, tag, body) as described in the “Ask a question” guidance.
- If it is auto-deleted, contact a moderator by replying in an existing, visible Q&A thread (for example, a meta/support thread about posting issues) and provide the link or ID of the deleted question so they can restore it.
- Ensure the question follows the Q&A Code of Conduct and does not include personal data or content that might look like spam (for example, repeated links, marketing language, or certain trigger words).
The behavior described (legitimate questions being auto-deleted and later restored by moderators) matches other reported cases, where moderators confirmed that the spam filter was “overly aggressive” and restored the posts.
