Microsoft is excited to announce the release Windows 11 24H2 WDK update (version 10.0.26100.1591). This release marks the beginning of an agile WDK release workstream, where updated Windows Driver Kits will be made available more frequently. These regular kit updates will enhance the reliability, security, and quality of our hardware ecosystem.

Each new version of the WDK release can be downloaded from the WDK download page. The latest WDK version (N) will supersede the previously released version (N-1), and the download link will always reflect the most current version. The change log for each release can be found here 

Users can install and run the newly released WDK on Windows 10 and later versions. Additionally, this kit can be used to build drivers for Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, and all subsequent client and server versions.
