Hi,
This has been discussed earlier using
IRP_MN_QUERY_PNP_DEVICE_STATE->PNP_DEVICE_DONT_DISPLAY_IN_UI. Could anybody
confirm me whether ‘Show hidden devices’ from device manager shows the
device back?
Thanks,
Hakim

My test is done and test shows that ‘Show hidden devices’ from device
manager shows the
device back. Is it supposed to be like this or I’m doing something wrong?
Thanks,

Yes, showing hidden devices in device manager will let you see devices
which set PNP_DEVICE_DONT_DISPLAY_IN_UI. There is no way to truly make
the device stack completely hidden. You can make the entire class not
displayable (I don’t remember the reg value for this), but if you don’t
own the device class this is not a viable answer.
