What’s you’re Start setting in your driver’s registry key?
I’m working on a filter driver. If I set it to start on-demand (Start = 3),
it gets started to add devices I’ve registered to filter. If I don’t
create any filter DOs, it gets unloaded.
But if I set it to start at boot (Start = 0), it gets loaded and stays
loaded whether or not I create DOs.

Of course.

That’s the thing, right now there is nothing more to my driver than
responding to AddDevice() and the various PnP IRPs through
IRP_MN_REMOVE_DEVICE.
There are no layers above me. I don’t even try to open the driver from
user-mode. This is just a plain vanilla WDM PnP driver installed and
removed via the Add/Remove Hardware Wizard. Except it won’t unload.
