Sep 26, 2019 Drivers are updated to fix identified problems that are described in the release notes. If your hardware isn't affected by one of those problems and you install the driver anyway, you could end up causing harm to your computer now and in the future. Whether or not to update a driver is a decision that only you can make, based on your research. Sep 20, 2019 Driver updater tools do just what you're probably thinking—they help you update some or all of the device drivers installed in Windows for your computer's hardware. These free driver updater programs make it easy to keep your drivers updated.

History of WDK[edit]
May 01, 2017 I'm trying to discover the source of a memory leak in Windows 10 and I've read that poolmon.exe can help with that. However, after downloading Windows Driver Kit, I can't find poolmon in the Tools folder of the Windows Driver Kit. Feb 26, 2010 The Windows Driver Kit (WDK) Version 7.1.0 is an update to the WDK 7.0.0 release and contains the tools, code samples, documentation, compilers, headers and libraries with which software developers create drivers for Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2003.
Previously, the WDK was known as Windows Driver Development Kit (DDK) 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 you need 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 that you can edit / build / debug the driver from within Visual Studio directly.
