In the following Page: https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/windows-hardware/test/hlk/user/windows-hardware-lab-kit-filters

there is a link to Download the Filters. It returns

    Thank you for reporting the issue with downloading HLK Filters from the Microsoft Learn page.

    The error message PublicAccessNotPermitted indicates that the storage account hosting the filters currently does not allow public access. This may be due to a temporary configuration issue or a change in access policy.

    🔧 Here’s what you can do:

    1. Retry the download after some time — this may be a temporary issue.
    2. Use HLKSetup.exe to install the HLK kit directly, as suggested in the HLK installation guide. [Windows Ha...soft Learn].

    Let me know if the issue persists after following these steps. I’ll be happy to assist further if needed. If the issue has been resolved, kindly mark the response as answered.
