Device metadata is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of Windows. For information about the replacement for this functionality, see Driver Package Container Metadata.
This topic describes the Device Metadata Authoring tool provided in the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 8.
Getting started
After you launch the Authoring tool, the Welcome to the Metadata Authoring Wizard screen appears. Select one of the following options:
- To create a new device metadata package, select Create new device metadata package, and then click Next.
- To update an existing device metadata package, select Update existing device metadata package, click Browse to select the package, and then click Next.
Note
You can't edit Device Stage experiences with the tool. However, the Device Stage folder isn't changed if you update the package by using this tool.
