Windows Kernel-Mode Process and Thread Manager Manages physical memory for the operating system. Manages objects: files, devices, synchronization mechanisms, registry keys, and so on. Kernel-Mode Components describes the primary kernel-mode managers and components of the Windows operating system. Kernel Driver Development Best Practices, as compiled by the Microsoft Surface team.A catalogue of Sample Kernel-Mode Drivers.This section contains conceptual information that describes and helps you build kernel-mode drivers. For a general overview of Windows Drivers, see Getting Started with Windows Drivers, which provides a general overview of Windows components, lists the types of device drivers used in Windows, discusses the goals of Windows device drivers, and discusses generic sample device drivers included in the kit.
This section includes general concepts to help you understand kernel-mode programming and describes specific techniques of kernel programming. For information about programming interfaces that your driver can implement or call, see the Kernel-Mode Driver Reference.
