Hi,

I am getting the following error while starting Visual Studio 2022:

Driver Testing
Could not load test information. Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object..

I am using the following:

Windows 10

Windows SDK 10.0.22621.0

Windows Driver Kit 10.0.22621.382

I tried ignoring the error, but I can't find driver settings and some other settings under Configuration Properties

Opening Visual Studio in safe mode does not show the error. But I cannot create drivers without the extension.

    It seems like the Windows Driver Kit extension does not recognize WDK if it is not installed at the default location.

    Reinstall Windows SDK and WDK to the "C" drive.
