Loading Minifilters in HyperV containers about windows-containers HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi. Thanks for bringing up these questions. Long story short, you cannot install a minifilter in a hyper-v container. However, if you're not limited to a hyper-v container, and can use process-isolation instead, you can use a host process container (HPC) to install the minifilter. We are aware that people want to use their own filters in hyper-v containers but we don't have a timeline to share right now.

FYI @ntrappe-msft host process containers no longer work for filter drivers either since containerd 1.7 - see microsoft/hcsshim#1699 for more information as to why that doesn't work.

Currently if you want to use minifilters, your only option is to use host process containers on containerd 1.6.

@kiashok Could you confirm whether this is true for containerd?
