I found the source files of MS own utility https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/master/setup/devcon Here is archive with binaries (32- and 64-bit) http://www.mediafire.com/file/7nhmi50s63ilbvl/devcon.zip Here is archive with modified sources and solution for VisualStudio 2013 http://www.mediafire.com/file/xmpg8iphalnf3l1/devcon_solution.zip Here are functions: classfilter Add, delete, and reorder class filters. classes List all device setup classes. disable Disable devices. driverfiles List installed driver files for devices. drivernodes List driver nodes of devices. enable Enable devices. find Find devices. findall Find devices, including those that are not currently attached. help Display Devcon help. hwids List hardware IDs of devices. install Install a device manually. listclass List all devices in a setup class. reboot Reboot the local computer. remove Remove devices. rescan Scan for new hardware. resources List hardware resources for devices. restart Restart devices. sethwid Modify Hardware ID's of listed root-enumerated devices. stack List expected driver stack for devices. status List running status of devices. update Update a device manually. updateni Manually update a device (non interactive). dp_add Adds (installs) a third-party (OEM) driver package. dp_delete Deletes a third-party (OEM) driver package. dp_enum Lists the third-party (OEM) driver packages installed on this machine. checkinf Check computer for devices compatible with INF file. ------------- Some of functions even works on remote machine! To list all functions execute devcon64.exe help To see detailed description of a function execute devcon64.exe help function Exit codes of utility: 0 - ok, 1 - ok but reboot is needed, 2 - fail, 3 - invalid usage. Change log comparing to original sources from github: 1. I added new function - checkinf. 2. I modified old function - updateni (there were two parameters - inf-file and hwid of device, I removed hwid parameter so that user has to specify only inf-file).
http://www.mediafire.com/file/7nhmi50s63ilbvl/devcon.zip http://www.mediafire.com/file/xmpg8iphalnf3l1/devcon_solution.zip Binaries and source files were updated. Just minor fix of sloppy place in function "cmdInfCheck": Code: if (className[0]) { FormatToStream(stdout, MSG_INFCHECK_CLASSDEVS, className); } else { FormatToStream(stdout, MSG_INFCHECK_CLASSDEVS, [B]classGuid[/B]); } replaced with Code: if (className[0]) { FormatToStream(stdout, MSG_INFCHECK_CLASSDEVS, className); } else { StringFromGUID2(classGuid, className, sizeof(className)/sizeof(className[0])); FormatToStream(stdout, MSG_INFCHECK_CLASSDEVS, className); } 6 years with C# get me absolutely reckless about what I throw to output functions.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/7nhmi50s63ilbvl/devcon.zip http://www.mediafire.com/file/xmpg8iphalnf3l1/devcon_solution.zip Binaries and source files were updated. Added global exception handling to avoid abnormal program termination. And typical copy-paste error fixed in function "cmdInfCheck" - again with output.
Thanks for posting this and what it is about in your other thread. http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?p=5386572 I didnt realise its impact. It will be appreciated if you can make the Message based Interrupt util a live change without reboot. I found that AMD cards already set this (on newer motherboards at least) but NVidia dont. It makes for a smoother gaming experience and the util helped me detect a driver was not properly installed. ie my SATA transfer speed would max out at around 60MB/s at times. Using MSIutil I noticed SATA was not using MSI based interrupts, I hadnt installed the Intel RST drivers. After installing RST, MSI is enabled and everything is back to full speed. Cheers!
-) You realize that full speed was back due to RST drivers and not MSI mode solely, do you? Correct test for MSI mode`s impact would be comparison with and without MSI mode on the same RST drivers.
I didnt test with with only MSI enabled because it hosed Windows boot without RST installed. I had to do the recommended last known good boot to get it back and then installed RST. I didnt confirm what the speed increase was down to, I am simply happy I was alerted to the issue
Sorry, I made a minor mess of what I was trying to say, corrected now. When I noticed SATA was not using MSI I enabled it and Windows refused to boot. I used Last Known Good to get back in and then installed RST. At that point I didnt care what the performance increase was down to and didnt want to cause more issues so havent tested disabling MSI since. But I did verify MSI was now enabled.
Now you can disable MSI mode to test performance impact because I am sure Intel drivers would work without it. Previously you were trying to force generic MS drivers into MSI mode which they do not support. (EDIT: I am curious why we discuss MSI mode here and not in original thread...)
