Microsoft’s move to make Rust a first-class option for Windows driver development crystallizes a long-running strategy: reduce the class of memory-safety bugs that have dominated high-severity Windows vulnerabilities by shifting low-level, performance-sensitive code toward a language designed...

Microsoft's effort to let device-driver developers use Rust has moved from research and experiments into tangible tooling and samples, but the path to production-ready Windows drivers written in Rust remains long and cautious — working prototypes and Microsoft-backed crates exist, CodeQL now...

Microsoft's recent push to modernize how Windows 11 drivers are built, packaged, published, and maintained represents one of the most consequential shifts in the Windows hardware ecosystem in years — driven by security, performance, and the realities of an increasingly diverse device landscape...

This week at WinHEC, we were able to talk to silicon, hardware, and device partners about the advances we are making in Windows 10 to simplify building Windows devices, drivers, and apps. Some of the key advances we disclosed this week include: The Windows 10 device platform allows IHVs to...
