I built a simple driver using this tatourial (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/gettingstarted/writing-a-very-small-kmdf--driver). I tried to install my driver but when i run the devcon tool i got:

Device node created. Install is complete when drivers are installed...
Updating drivers for Root/MyFiestDriver from C:\Users\WDKRemoteUser\Downloads\drive-download-20220107T092709Z-001\MyFiestDriver.inf.
devcon.exe failed.

i checked the logs and got the following error massages:

i used the inf file visual studio generated for me and couldn't find anyway to fix this.

the inf file i use looks like that:

I had the same issue. In your case you are passing "root/MyFirstDriver" to devcon, but you have defined the id in the inx/inf file to be the similar but not identical string "root\MyFirstDriver". I am guessing that is why your devcon command is failing.

In my case the strings were identical, but I still got the "No matching drivers found in single INF" error. Eventually I found a Debug Win32 driver as I was using was not going to work. Switching the sample project to x64 Release build fixed the issue for me.
