The Windows Driver Kit (WDK) is a software toolset from Microsoft that enables the development of device drivers for the Microsoft Windows platform.[2] It includes documentation, samples, build environments, and tools for driver developers.[3] A complete toolset for driver development also need the following: a compiler Visual Studio, Windows SDK, and Windows HLK.
Previously, the WDK was known as Device Development Kit (DDK)[4] for Windows 3.x and Windows 9x. It supported the development of VxD drivers. Later versions for Windows NT and Windows 98SE and ME were called Driver Development Kit (DDK)[5] and supported Windows Driver Model (WDM) development. It got its current name when Microsoft released Windows Vista and added the following previously separated tools to the kit: Installable File System Kit (IFS Kit), Driver Test Manager (DTM), though DTM was later renamed and removed from WDK again.
The DDK for Windows 2000 and earlier versions did not include a compiler; instead one had to install Visual C++ separately to compile drivers. From the version for Windows XP the DDK and later the WDK include a command-line compiler to compile drivers. One of the reasons Microsoft gave for including a compiler was that the quality of drivers would improve if they were compiled with the same version of the compiler that was used to compile Windows itself while Visual C++ is targeted to application development and has a different product cycle with more frequent changes. The WDK 8.x and later series goes back to require installing a matched version of Visual Studio separately, but this time the integration is more complete in that you can edit, build and debug the driver from within Visual Studio directly.

Allows to make drivers for hardware»
Each hardware components needs a software (driver) to be installed, otherwise will not work. This development kit allows programmers to make drivers for a wide range of hardware. For example, if you connect a printer to your computer, you cannot print until you install the driver. This makes sense because you will install only the specific software for your printer model.
WDK is an advancement toolset that can be utilized as a part of request to make drivers for Windows OS. It groups libraries, compilers, code tests and different code packahes intended to help developers in making completely practical drivers for Windows. Formerly is known as Windows Driver Development Kit (or WDDK), The gave tests, nearby the rich documentation are intended to facilitate the improvement procedure for all clients.
Windows Driver Kit is licensed as freeware for PC or laptop with Windows 32 bit and 64 bit operating system. It is in sdk category and is available to all software users as a free download.

Microsoft объявила, что улучшает упаковку драйверов Windows. Компания представила для них пакет NuGet WDK (Windows Driver Kit).
До сих пор WDK был доступен в виде файлов MSI (Microsoft Installer) или ISO. Теперь Microsoft объяснила преимущества NuGet. Так, пакет меньше по размеру, что сокращает время загрузки и установки; его можно переносить на разные машины и в разных средах; интегрировать с большими конвейерами CI/CD и системами контроля версий; наконец, он позволяет обеспечить гибкую модель выпуска WDK.
Microsoft также предоставила пошаговое руководство по установке WDK с помощью NuGet. Компания отмечает, что для этого необходимы Windows 11 и Visual Studio 2022.
Сначала требуется установить версию Visual Studio 2022 Community, Professional или Enterprise, загрузить инструменты Visual Studio и установить разработку рабочего стола на C++.
Для WDK требуется Visual Studio 2022 с инструментами сборки VS 2022 C++ и соответствующими компонентами библиотек VS 2022 C++ Spectre (последние версии) для каждой архитектуры.
После регистрации в Visual Studio нужно выбрать и установить следующие отдельные компоненты: MSVC V143 — библиотеки VS2022 C++ x64/x86 с защитой от Spectre (последнюю версию) и MSVC V143 — библиотеки VS2022 C++ ARM64 с защитой от Spectre (также последнюю версию).
Затем потребуется установить расширение WDK Visual Studio. Для этого в Visual Studio нужно выбрать «Расширения», «Управление расширениями», а затем «Visual Studio Marketplace», и найти «Комплект драйверов Windows», а затем — Visual Studio Windows Drivers Kit.
Также установить расширение Visual Studio Kit драйверов Windows можно по ссылке.
Ранее Microsoft напомнила пользователям о прекращении поддержки Windows 11 22H2 8 октября 2024 года. Речь идёт о версиях Windows 11 2H2 Home, Pro, Pro Education и Pro for Workstations, выпущенных 20 сентября 2022 года. Корпорация сообщила о необходимости обновления до версии 23H2.
