Recently I installed Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise along with WDK 10 for 1709 My workloads contained C++ workload. . My machine is a Windows 8.1 Pro with net framework 4.6.1. After installing the WDK I expected the templates to come in the Legacy section of Visual C++ but no legacy option is present in it. I don't understand what is the problem. Please help me. Thanks in advance

I resolved the issue. It was due to a missing windows 10 SDK. Reinstallating the WDK with appropriate SDK solved the problem

Developing drivers to windows is quite interesting one will be exposed to advanced Operating System Concepts. The set up for the environment will be IDE

  1. IDE - Visual Studio (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community&rel=16)
  2. Compilers (WDK)
  3. Debugger (WDK)

WDK contains both(https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2085767). Latest Visual Studio(VS2019) will come along with the latest WDK(10, 1903 as of now).

Sometimes plugins might not work properly i.e integration issues between Visual Studio and WDk.

  • By going to the location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Vsix\VS2019" and run VSIX installer.
  • Now in a new project, driver related templates are available.
