  • try the [WDK for the Fall Creators Update (current Insider Builds), here the WDK supports VS2017](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewWDK) "The WDK now supports Visual Studio 2017. All editions are supported." – magicandre1981 Aug 01 '17 at 14:38
  • now you can get the 1709 WDK which now supports VS2017 – magicandre1981 Oct 23 '17 at 15:03

The WDK Build 15063 for Windows 10 v1703 only supports Visual Studio 2015. So for driver development you have to stay on the older VS2015 until a compatible version is available to be used in VS2017.

Starting with WDK Build 16299 for Windows 10 v1709 VS2017 is now the only supported option. So if you want to use only VS2017, install the WDK Build 16299/Win10 v1709.

If you still have issues, try to install the matching Windows 10 SDK (same Build number). This fixed the issue for an user.

  • It's important you have to install WDK after the Visual Studio. Otherwise, you won't have WDF templates available. If you installed WDK first, try going to add/remove programs, select the WDK and choose repair. For the current latest WDK (10.0.17763.1), VS 2017 and Windows SDK 10.0.17763.132 templates are there if WDK installed after VS. – Poliakoff Dec 05 '18 at 14:18

    @Polyakoff in WDK folder there is an VSIX (Windows Kits\10\VSIX) which installs the templates – magicandre1981 Dec 05 '18 at 15:08
