Driver studio is a discontinued product. I would suggest you give KMDF (in
the latest WDK) a try instead

Having developed drivers for NTDDK, WDM, KMDF, and used DriverStudio, I
agree with Doron and suggest you toss DriverStudio into the round file
(trash can) and use KMDF. DriverStudio will not pass a build with pre-fast,
and injects errors that fail Driver Verifier. Not to mention that it
introduces subtle problems into the driver that requires a fairly strong
knowledge of the DDK and WDM for power management. Bottom line, the LAST
thing a new driver developer should use is DriverStudio.
