Driver Verifier • • 6 minutes to read • Contributors • • • In this article Driver Verifier monitors Windows kernel-mode drivers and graphics drivers to detect illegal function calls or actions that might corrupt the system. Driver Verifier can subject the Windows drivers to a variety of stresses and tests to find improper behavior. You can run Driver Verifier on multiple drivers simultaneously, or on one driver at a time. You can configure which tests to run, which allows you to put a driver through heavy stress loads or through more streamlined testing. • • • • • • Where can I download Driver Verifier? You don't need to download Driver Verifier (Verifier.exe) as it is included in every version of Windows after Windows 2000, except for Windows 10 S. There isn't a separate Driver Verifier download package, it is located in the%windir% system32 directory. • Open a Command Prompt window ( Run as administrator). • Type verifier to open the Driver Verifier Manager, or type verifier /? To view command line options. Modified memory manager. Which activate officially unsupported by drivers memory. To enbseries.ini which allow to disable all graphic changes in. Which setting enables the memory manager? I couldn't find anything. Is it the cryptic 'DisableDriverMemoryManager' by chance? See for more information. For information about changes in Driver Version for Windows 8.1 and previous versions of Windows, see. When to use Driver Verifier Run Driver Verifier throughout the driver development and test process. • Use Driver Verifier to find problems early in the development life cycle, when they are easier and less costly to correct. • Use Driver Verifier when you deploy a driver for testing using the WDK, Visual Studio, and the (HCK) tests. • Use Driver Verifier for troubleshooting and debugging test failures and computer crashes. How to start Driver Verifier You should only run Driver Verifier on test computers, or computers you are testing and debugging. To get the most benefit from Driver Verifier, you should use a kernel debugger and connect to the test computer. • Open a Command Prompt window ( Run as administrator) and type verifier to open the Driver Verifier Manager. • Select Create standard settings (default) and click Next. You can also choose Create custom settings to select from predefined settings, or to select individual options. See and for more information. • Select a driver or drivers to verify. Option Recommended use Automatically select unsigned drivers Useful option for testing on computers running versions of Windows that don't require signed drivers. Automatically select drivers built for older versions of Windows Useful option for testing driver compatibility with newer versions of Windows. Automatically select all drivers installed on this computer Provides maximum coverage in terms of the number of drivers that are tested on a system. This option is useful for test scenarios where a driver can interact with other devices or drivers on a system. This option can also exhaust the resources available for and some resource tracking. Testing all drivers can also adversely affect system performance. Select driver names from a list In most cases, you will want to specify which drivers to test. Selecting all drivers in a device stack allows the option to track objects and check compliance as an IRP is passed between each of the drivers in the stack and allows for a greater level of detail to be provided should an error be found. Select a single driver if you are running a test scenario that measures system or driver performance metrics, or if you want to allocate the greatest number of resources available for detecting memory corruption or resource tracking issues (deadlocks, mutexs).
