Mirror Driver for Windows 10

Hello,

could you please explain this:

“Starting with Windows 8, mirror drivers will not install on the system. Mirror drivers described in this section will install and run only on earlier versions of Windows.”

(from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/display/mirror-drivers)

Does it mean that our DameWare Mirror driver can’t be used starting with Windows 8?

I’m asking because our clients have faced with slow performance during remote connection for Windows 10 (using DameWare Mini Remote Control application).

Seems that our Mirror driver isn’t used / ignored (but there is no error message).

Then we rebuilt our Mirror driver with:

-           Target Platform - Windows 10

-           Platform Toolset - WindowsKernelModeDriver10.0

-           Templates - Empty DLL for drivers, Kernel Mode driver, Empty (KMDF) (WDK 10.0.14393.0)

Previously it was built with "build -c" from the directory where the DameWare source code resides.

But even if Driver Signature Verification is disabled our new driver has error code 52 - Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device.

So our driver with this error code isn’t used:

I will be glad to any help and ideas !

Best regards,
