Building and managing the sampling drivers for Windows involves several steps. The process begins by opening the desired build environment from the Start menu. Then, the sample driver needs to be built using the "build" command. Once built, the driver can be installed using the DEVCON.EXE command, which generates a log file in the %windir%\inf\setupapi.dev.log directory. The VTune Profiler installer automatically uses the Sampling Driver Kit to build drivers for the kernel with default installation options.
Additionally, the Windows Driver Samples portal on Microsoft Learn provides individual driver samples for download, and the Windows-driver-samples repo on GitHub can be cloned, forked, or downloaded for further management.
