I attached a kernel debugger to my VM and tried to load the driver with devcon
This is already the first mistake made in the article: As soon as a kernel debugger is attached, many of the kernel protection features are automatically disabled, including the kernel signature verification. Drivers do not even need a test signed certificate in this case, they will load even without any signature.

Quote:
manually added my root certificate to the trusted roots store the normal way
This is also total nonsense. The root certificates for kernel signing are hard-coded in the executable files, they are never read from the trusted roots store. The whole article seems to focus on removing certificate warnings in the GUI, a part which has absolutely nothing to do with the decision if a kernel driver is permitted to load or not.
