  • Staff

This tutorial will show you how to find the current Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version you have in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

The Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) is the graphics display driver architecture introduced in Windows Vista (WDDM v1.0). WDDM is required starting with Windows 8 (WDDM v1.2). The WDDM design guide discusses WDDM requirements, specifications, and behavior for WDDM drivers.

WDDM provides the functionality required to render the desktop and applications using Desktop Window Manager, a compositing window manager running on top of Direct3D. It also supports new DXGI interfaces required for basic device management and creation. The WDDM specification requires at least Direct3D 9-capable video card and the display driver must implement the device driver interfaces for the Direct3D 9Ex runtime in order to run legacy Direct3D applications; it may optionally implement runtime interfaces for Direct3D 10 and higher.

WDDM versions for quick reference:

The Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) is available starting with Windows Vista and is required starting with Windows 8.

What's New in Driver Development for Windows 11, Version 24H2 - Windows drivers

This section describes new features for driver development in Windows 11, version 24H2.
learn.microsoft.com


Here's How:

1 Press the Win + R keys to open Run, type dxdiag into Run, and click/tap on OK to open the DirectX Diagnostic Tool.

The first time you use the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, you might be asked whether you want to check if your drivers are digitally signed. It is recommend that you select Yes to help ensure that your drivers have been signed by a publisher that has verified their authenticity.


2 Click/tap on a Display tab you want to check in the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. (see screenshot below)

3 You will see the WDDM version (ex: "WDDM 3.1") to the right of Driver Model in the Drivers section.

As per the Clean Install Windows 11 tut, I checked my WDDM driver. My current version of Win 11 is 22H2, which according to the above info should have WDDM 3.1; however, my version is 3.0. I will be clean installing Win 11 23H2 soon, which should have WDDM 3.2.

However, as per the HP software and driver support page for my laptop model, only drivers for Win 21H2 are listed, which is WDDM 3.0. Nothing newer is available.

This is particularly interesting to me because as my HP laptop restarts, I'm seeing a single, very quick blink of brightness just before the Lock Screen appears. This wasn't present until I had my BIOS updated very recently. The BIOS update was considered critical but was for 21H2.

Is there any other way to update my WDDM driver? Or should I leave it as is and wait for HP?

    I purchased this CTO laptop directly from HP in December 2021. However, I didn't unbox it and set it up until August 2023. Thus, in spite of its older specs now, it is a new laptop to me... along with all of Windows 11's learning curves and problems.

You will likely get WDDM 3.1 with Windows 11 23H2. It is on mine with 23H2 and Intel Iris Xe graphics.

Hardware is a factor as well not mentioned in that table which is supported versions for the OS.
On older hardware you won't get what is listed.
It is all trivialities anyway. Think in terms of ground up/hardware up, not the other way.
Also think consumer versions of Windows 11, not development/insider versions like the last entry in that list.

@Helmut

Thank you bunches for your detailed explanation. My take-away is that the table provides general guidance, not hard and fast rules. Thus, I have no reason to be concerned. Awesome!

I've been poking around with this and see recent press reports that only 24H2 supports WDDM 3.2. I have confirmed that version 3.1 is running on my 23H2 test and production PCs, and that 3.2 is running on my lone Copilot+ PC (ThinkPad T14s Gen 6). Can you please confirm or correct your earlier table that says 23H2 supports WDDM 3.2? TIA for your time and attention. I attach a link to the WindowsLatest story that started me down this path below.
Thanks again,

Windows 11 24H2 WDDM 3.2 ships with big upgrades for GPU, NPU as Microsoft bets on Copilot

In Windows 11 24H2, version 3.2 of the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) will have significant gaming improvements and NPU.
www.windowslatest.com www.windowslatest.com

See also my blog post at Dxdiag Shows WDDM Version Info - Ed Tittel which straight-out claims that 24H2 and WDDM 3.2 are intertwined and that I found no evidence that 23H2 supports same.

I know, this is odd.

Nvidia driver is 7 months old.
Will report back after update.

All I can say is "I see WDDM 3.2 in Copilot+ PCs and in test machines with Canary Preview builds. I don't see it on Windows 11 23H2 production or preview builds (not including Dev or Insider Preview channels, which I do not have installed anywhere)." I used to have a test machine that I'd upgraded to 24H2 from 23H2 using the 24H2 ISO via in-place upgrade repair install. But alas, I don't have that running anymore. Can somebody check a Dev channnel machine and report, or do I need to set up a VM? I think we can say the following right now:
23H2 production and Beta Channel Insider Previews: WDDM 3.1
24H2 Copilot PCs and Canary Channel Insider Previews: WDDM 3.2
I don't know (yet) about Dev Channel or Insider Preview Channel.
Thanks,

I just found a VM running 24H2 Build 26100.1150. It also shows WDDM 3.2. I'm becoming increasingly convinced it's tied to the OS version as 24H2. Can anyone contradict that? Thanks either way!

All I can say is "I see WDDM 3.2 in Copilot+ PCs and in test machines with Canary Preview builds. I don't see it on Windows 11 23H2 production or preview builds (not including Dev or Insider Preview channels, which I do not have installed anywhere)." I used to have a test machine that I'd upgraded to 24H2 from 23H2 using the 24H2 ISO via in-place upgrade repair install. But alas, I don't have that running anymore. Can somebody check a Dev channnel machine and report, or do I need to set up a VM? I think we can say the following right now:
23H2 production and Beta Channel Insider Previews: WDDM 3.1
24H2 Copilot PCs and Canary Channel Insider Previews: WDDM 3.2
I don't know (yet) about Dev Channel or Insider Preview Channel.
Thanks,

Latest 24H2 Dev build shows WDDM 3.2 for me.

Ed,
I was running current Canary and it reported :

So it is not tied in to the OS.
I then updated my NVidia driver and the result was:

It seems to prove to me that the driver contains the WDDM version, not the OS.

It's what the OS supports up to, but the driver to implement.
