| Service | How you can use it |
| Bug management | If you encounter Microsoft Windows-related bugs during the testing of your products, you can submit them to Microsoft for diagnosis and resolution. You can also track bugs on your products during the Windows cycle filed by Microsoft. |
| Device metadata | When you create a package in the Windows® Logo Kit (WLK), you can include device metadata such as an image of your product or other information. You can also change the device metadata or add additional device metadata through the Device metadata page on the Dashboard. |
| Driver distribution | When you create a hardware package in the Windows® Logo Kit (WLK) for submission, you can also include drivers that will be distributed with your device. If you must update or replace your drivers after submission, you can use the Driver distribution page on the Dashboard service website. |
| Reports | You can review the performance of your published products and inform your users of fixes using the reports that are presented on the Reports page of the Dashboard. |
| Remote debugging | The Remote debugging service can be downloaded from the Dashboard services website. It allows you to troubleshoot issues remotely by using Kernel Debugger with Microsoft and other companies. |
