how can i develop a driver that is not_stoppable?

Question

i can see "NOT_STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN" when i use command "sc query " to see some drivers' state.

But my own driver is "STOPPABLE, ...".

I wish my driver service to be "NOT_STOPPABLE".

How can i make it?

Answer 1

The answer in stackoverflow is not the documented way to achieve the behavior your want. This essentially marks a legacy driver as a pnp driver (and pnp drivers are not stoppable by sc), but this has other potential side effects you don't want. Simply do not assign a DriverUnload routine and then your driver cannot be stopped or unloaded.
