Hi,
I followed this (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowshardware/Kbfiltr-WDF-Version-685ff5c4) to replace my keyboard driver with “my own”.
I did “device manager” -> “update driver software” -> “kbfiltr INF file” -> “reboot”
It’s working well.
Now I would like to update my keyboard filter driver software without having to reboot.
I thought of creating a service (sc start kbfiltr.sys, stop…) but its not working I get the message “The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has n o enabled devices associated with it”.
Any ideas ?
Best regards
You can’t use the scm to control the state of a pnp driver. To reload your driver without a reboot you must disable all keyboards

Thanks for your reply
I guess I will go for non-pnp driver then
Do not make a poor design Cochise based on your convenience. A non pnp driver filtering the pnp keyboard stack is unsupported

I was looking for a non-rebooting solution for convenience but after some reading I will take your advice
thanks
