Plug and Play and Power Management in WDF Drivers

Overview The Windows Driver Foundation (WDF) implements a fully integrated model for Plug and Play and power management in both the User-Mode Driver Framework (UMDF) and the Kernel-Mode Driver Framework (KMDF). The model provides intelligent defaults so that some drivers do not require any code to support simple Plug and Play or power management. To support more complex features, drivers implement event callbacks. This paper provides guidelines for implementing Plug and Play and power management support in UMDF and KMDF drivers.
