My visual studio 2013 ultimate doesn't have "Windows Driver" template in New Projects. I mean that I want to have something like following picture:

After installing Windows WDK 8.1 I found that I had the missing templates I was looking for (drivers templates). So you'll need VS 2013, as well as WDK 8.1.

And ... ditto.

Installed VS 2013 pro, then installed the WDK 8 and/or 8.1 - no templates. Control Panel, Change-> Repair -- no templates. Reinstalled. Ditto.

Lots of Internet complaints, suggesting a "registration" problem with the install. Only positive outcome from those posts was 1 dude who reinstalled his whole OS just to get the VS and WDK working with a kmdf template option.
