You can set properties for deployment, driver signing, or other tasks.

Configure the project properties for your driver or driver package.

Navigate to Driver Settings > General, and set Target OS Version and Target Platform.

Select and hold (or right-click) the Avshws project and select Properties.

From the Configuration Manager, select the Active solution configuration (for example, Debug or Release) and the Active solution platform (for example, Win32) that correspond to the type of build you are interested in.

Select and hold (or right-click) the solution in the Solutions Explorer and select Configuration Manager.

Open the driver project or solution in Visual Studio.

Ensure that you have the same version of SDK and WDK installed on your computer.

To select a configuration and build a driver The default Solution build configuration is Debug and Win32. The ProjectUpgradeTool converts the projects and solutions so that they can be built using WDK 10.įor information about managing and editing build configurations, see Building in Visual Studio. Before you open the projects or solutions, run the ProjectUpgradeTool. Note You can convert projects and solutions that you created with WDK 8 or Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 8.1 to work with Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 10 and Visual Studio 2019. When you create a new driver project using a Windows driver template, the template defines a default (active) project configuration and a default (active) solution build configuration. You build a driver the same way you build any project or solution in Visual Studio. For more info, see Creating a Driver From Existing Source Files and WDK and the Visual Studio build environment. You can run a conversion utility from the command line, or you can convert an existing driver by creating new Visual Studio project from existing sources. Driver projects that were built with previous versions of the WDK must be converted to work in the Visual Studio environment.

The WDK now uses the same compiler and build tools that you use to build Visual Studio projects. Important Starting in Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 8, MSBuild replaced the Windows Build Utility (Build.exe). This topic describes how you can build a driver using the Visual Studio development environment, or from the command line by using the Microsoft Build Engine ( MSBuild).
