What Is Windows Driver Kit

What is Windows Driver Kit? It is a fully integrated driver development system, which includes a Windows Driver Device Kit, used to test the reliability and stability of Windows drivers. If you want to get more information about Windows, you can go to the MiniTool official website.

History of Windows Driver Kit

Previously, the Windows Driver Kit was called the Windows Driver Development Kit and supported the development of the Windows Driver Model.

When Microsoft released Windows Vista and added the following previously separated tools to the toolkit, it had the current name: Installable File System Toolkit (IFS Toolkit), Driver Test Manager (DTM), although DTM subsequently Was renamed and removed from the WDK again.

Windows 2000 and earlier versions of the DDK do not include a compiler; instead, you need to install Visual C++ separately to compile the driver. Starting from the Windows XP version, the DDK and later versions of the Windows Driver Kit include a command-line compiler for compiling drivers.

One of the reasons given by Microsoft to include the compiler is that if you use the same compiler version as Windows itself to compile, and Visual C++ is aimed at application development and has a different product cycle, you can improve the quality of the driver.

Change more frequently. Windows Driver Kit 8.x and later versions go back to requiring the installation of a matching version of Visual Studio respectively, but this time the integration is more complete, and you can directly edit/build/debug the driver in Visual Studio.

System Requirements of Windows Driver Kit

You can run the Windows 10, version 2004 WDK on Windows 7 and later, and use it to develop drivers for these operating systems:

Client OS

• Windows 10     
• Windows 8.1
• Windows 8       
• Windows 7

Server OS

• Windows Server 2019
• Windows Server 2016
• Windows Server 2012 R2
• Windows Server 2012
• Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

How to Download & Install Windows Driver Kit

Now, let’s see how to download & install Windows Driver Kit on Windows 10.

Step 1: Install Visual Studio 2019

Windows Driver Kit requires Visual Studio. When installing Visual Studio 2019, choose desktop development with a C++ workload. The Windows 10 Software Development Kit (SDK) will be automatically included and displayed in the Summary pane on the right.

Please note that the SDK that is compatible with the Windows 10 WDK may not be the default SDK. To choose the correct SDK, do the following:

On the Single Component tab of Visual Studio Installer, search for Windows 10 SDK (10.0.19041.0), select this version and continue the installation. Please note that Visual Studio will automatically install the Windows 10 SDK (10.0.19041.1) on your computer.

If you have already installed Visual Studio 2019, you can use the Modify button in the Visual Studio installation to install the Windows 10 SDK (10.0.19041.1).

The WDK has the Spectre mitigation feature enabled by default, but the Spectre mitigation library needs to be installed for each architecture to be developed for Visual Studio. In addition, developing drivers for ARM/ARM64 also requires that the build tools for these architectures can also be installed with Visual Studio. To find these items, you will need to know the latest version of MSVC installed on your system.

To find the latest version of MSVC installed on your system, go to the workload page in the Visual Studio installer, in the right pane under the installation details, expand Desktop Development with C++ and find MSVC v142-VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools (V14.xx)-Please note that xx should be the highest version available.

With this information (v14.xx), go to the various parts and search for v14.xx. This will return the toolset for all architectures, including the Spectre mitigation library. Select the driver architecture to be developed.

Step 2: Install the updated Windows SDK for Windows 10

Step 3: Install Refreshed WDK for Windows 10

Final Words

To sum up, here is all the information on Windows Driver Kit. You can know what it is and the Windows Driver Kit download. Besides, you can find the steps of installing it on Windows 10.

Download the Windows Driver Kit (WDK)

The WDK is used to develop, test, and deploy Windows drivers.

Runtime requirements

You can run the Windows 10, version 2004 WDK on Windows 7 and later, and use it to develop drivers for these operating systems:

WDK for Windows 10, version 2004

Step 1: Install Visual Studio 2019

The WDK requires Visual Studio. For more information about system requirements for Visual Studio, see Visual Studio 2019 System Requirements.

The following editions of Visual Studio 2019 support driver development for this release:

When you install Visual Studio 2019, select the Desktop development with C++ workload. The Windows 10 Software Development Kit (SDK) is automatically included, and is displayed in the right-hand Summary pane. Note that the version of the SDK that is compatible with the WDK for Windows 10, version 2004 may not be the default SDK. To select the correct SDK:

In Visual Studio Installer, on the Individual components tab, search for Windows 10 SDK (10.0.19041.0), select this version and continue with install. Note that Visual Studio will automatically install Windows 10 SDK (10.0.19041.1) on your machine.

If you already have Visual Studio 2019 installed, you can install the Windows 10 SDK (10.0.19041.1) by using the Modify button in Visual Studio install.

WDK has Spectre mitigation enabled by default but requires spectre mitigated libraries to be installed with Visual Studio for each architecture you are developing for. Additionally, developing drivers for ARM/ARM64 require the build tools for these architectures to also be installed with Visual Studio. To locate these items you will need to know the latest version of MSVC installed on your system.

To find the latest version of MSVC installed on your system, in Visual Studio Installer go to workload page, on the right pane under installation details, expand Desktop development with C++ and locate the MSVC v142 — VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools (V14.xx) — note where xx should be the highest version available.

With this information (v14.xx), go to Individual components and search for v14.xx. This will return the tool sets for all architectures, including Spectre mitigated libs. Select the driver architecture you are developing for.

For example, searching for v14.25 returns the following:

Step 2: Install WDK for Windows 10, version 2004

The WDK Visual Studio extension is included in the default WDK installation.

Enterprise WDK (EWDK) for Windows 10, version 2004

The EWDK is a standalone, self-contained command-line environment for building drivers. It includes the Visual Studio Build Tools, the SDK, and the WDK. The latest public version of the EWDK contains Visual Studio 2019 Build Tools 16.3.0 and MSVC toolset v14.23. To get started, mount the ISO and run LaunchBuildEnv.

The EWDK also requires the .NET Framework version 4.7.2. For more information about other requirements for the .NET Framework, see .NET Framework system requirements.

Driver Development Tools

Purpose

The Windows Driver Kit (WDK) provides a set of tools that you can use to develop, analyze, build, install, and test your driver. The WDK includes powerful verification tools that are designed to help you detect, analyze, and correct errors in driver code during the development process. Many of these tools can be used very early in the development process where they are most critical and can save you the most time and effort.

Overview

The Windows Driver Kit (WDK) is fully integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015. The WDK uses the same compiler and build tools that you use to build Visual Studio projects. The code analysis and verification tools can now be easily configured and launched from the Visual Studio development environment, so that you can find and fix problems in your driver source early in the development cycle.

The WDK provides a sophisticated driver test framework and a set of device fundamental tests that you can use to automatically build, deploy, and test your driver on remote test systems. The WDK provides the tools to make testing and debugging drivers more convenient and effective than before.

Driver Development Tools Documentation

This section describes the tools and techniques that can help you during development:

Resources

Universal Windows drivers allow developers to create a single driver that runs across multiple different device types, from embedded systems to tablets and desktop PCs. Hardware developers can use their existing components and device drivers across different form factors.

You can convert projects and solutions that you created with WDK 8 or Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 8.1 to work with Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 10 and Visual Studio 2015. Before you open the projects or solutions, run the ProjectUpgradeTool. The ProjectUpgradeTool converts the projects and solutions so that they can be built using WDK for Windows 10.

You can use the ApiValidator.exe tool to verify that the APIs that your driver calls are valid for a Universal Windows driver. The tool returns an error if your driver calls an API that is outside the set of valid APIs for Universal Windows drivers. This tool is part of the WDK for Windows 10.

More information and tips for driver developers about using the WDK and the Visual Studio build environment.
