Driver Easy to fix this error! Many Windows users have encountered a “ DVDSetup” error. This error message tells them “ Failed to load Hardware Monitor Driver“.
According to Systernals, this tool should work on XP and later and Server 2003 and higher, but I on an RDS server (2008 R2) get 'unable to load Process Monitor device driver' even when right-clicking and selecting 'Run as Administrator'.

WinObj.exe shows the driver object, device object, symlink of the same is really created. But the regedit shows no entry added to HKLM System CCS Services How does it load a driver without leaving any trace in the registry? DbgView does the same thing. You can run procmon when you start dbgview to check it.
Hint: you can remove the Services registry entries for a kernel driver that is still loaded. Tim Roberts, xxxxx@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. Hint: you can remove the Services registry entries for a kernel driver that is still loaded. I used an API monitoring tool to hook the APIs called by Process Explorer.
It does manually create a registry key HKLM System CCS Services PROCEXPxxx.SYS and delete it sometime later. But it doesn't call CreateService/OpenService. So, how does it load the PROCEXPxxx.SYS? My understanding is that if we manually create the registry key, we have to reboot once for the key to take effect (except if CreateService is used to create the key).

NtLoadDriver IIRC requires the SC key. ZwSetSystemInformation can IIRC load the.sys without the SC key.

Max, The 'documentation' (i.e. The internet clones of the Gary Nebbett data) for ZwSetSystemInformation about loading a driver has been wrong since Windows XP.
Most documentation forgets to mention it loads it in a session, and it does not call DriverEntry. So trying to use that from user space would have a lot of challenges, and as has already been pointed out, the SC key is created, the driver loaded, then the key deleted.

However, Using API Monitor I was unable to nail the native call down (hook technique used = 'Static Import').

Heck, you can even create some system threads in your driver entry and immediately unload your driver. (You will need to duplicate your driver into nonpaged pool before doing so) I feel like this is the type of thing which would be discussed on the aforementioned 'Chinese and Russian language' driver forums.
