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.

Microsoft объявила, что улучшает упаковку драйверов Windows. Компания представила для них пакет NuGet WDK (Windows Driver Kit).

Картинка с сайта: habr.com

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.

  • What Is Windows Driver Kit and How to Install It on Windows 10

By Daisy | Follow |
Last Updated

This post focuses on Windows Driver Kit. You can know what it is and how to download and install it on Windows. Besides, you can know the system requirements of the Windows Driver Kit. Now, keep on your reading to get more details.

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.
