Ben gave you the address:  cran using r-project.org.

I think CRAN and Winbuilder are separate machines. If CRAN isn't showing 
errors in its tests of the hardhat package then it has probably 
successfully built it and will use it in tests.   Currently it looks fine:

  https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_hardhat.html

I do recommend testing on Windows R-devel on one of the other platforms 
I listed before submitting to CRAN.  I don't think auto-rejects waste a 
lot of their time, but it's better to get accepted on the first try.
