I am trying to figure out how to make drivers for windows 10 in C. But now I have redownloaded everything 10 times with out any luck. I first visited this site and downloaded visual studio 2022 ( 
Anyways because of this I started asking for help and someone notified me that the newest versions does not work correctly so I tried to download older versions. However, doing so results in SDK compatibility issues which causes no default templates to pop up when trying to create a new project in Visual Studio (when I used the newest versions of everything I got tons of options here).
Having said all of that I really would like to know which Visual Studio, SDK, and WDK I should download to have access to the linker, empty kernel driver template, and to correctly be able to include things such as "ntifs.h" in my C files. The following link will provide you all older versions and I need to know which ones to choose here ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/other-wdk-downloads?source=recommendations ).
I was also told that downloading the Windows 11 version is ok even though I am on Windows 10 and attempting to make a Windows 10 driver. But having said that I found that the older SDK's and WDK's versions don't match up and trying a new combinations takes at least 30 min due to the constant uninstalling and reinstalling. I would be extremely grateful if anyone could help me out!!
