Hello all! Completely beginner here!
Im trying to develop a virtual keyboard device with WDF (Windows Drive Framework) and Virtual HID Framework. Basically, I want to create a C application that is able to send inputs (reports) to a virtual keyboard in a Kernel Mode (without a physical device).
I started to this current tutorial in this half-link windows-hardware/drivers/gettingstarted/writing-a-kmdf-driver-based-on-a-template and Im almost there! But im stuck on “Prepare the target computer for provisioning“ part.
I am using VirtualBox Version 7.2.2 r170484 (Qt6.8.0 on windows) with a Windows VM for tests. Right now I’m facing this error when I click on top menu Extensions→Driver→Test→Configure Devices in Visual Studio
