✅ Correct Way to Install the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) for Visual Studio 2022:

The WDK is not installed via NuGet. It must be installed as a separate extension using the Microsoft official installer. Here's how to do it:

🔧 Steps to Install WDK Properly:

1. Install Visual Studio 2022

Ensure the Desktop development with C++ workload is installed.

You can add this by running the Visual Studio Installer, selecting "Modify" on your installed VS version, and checking Desktop development with C++.

2. Download the WDK Installer

Go to the official Microsoft link:

👉 Windows Driver Kit (WDK) Downloads

3. Install WDK for Visual Studio 2022

Download the WDK for Windows 11 / 10, matching your OS version.

Run the installer, and it will automatically integrate WDK into Visual Studio.

4. Verify in Visual Studio

Open Visual Studio.

Go to File → New → Project → Search for Driver.

You should now see templates like Kernel Mode Driver, User Mode Driver, etc.

🔍 About NuGet:

NuGet is primarily for .NET libraries and packages—not for SDKs like WDK.

That’s why WDK doesn't appear in the NuGet Package Manager.
