Prior to Windows 8, if the initial attempt to complete the finish-install actions succeeds, the finish-install process clears the device as being flagged to perform a finish install action. If the current user is not an administrator, Windows will first prompt the user to enter the credentials of an administrator before it runs the initial finish-install process.įor a software-first installation of a device, Windows runs the initial finish-install process in the context of the administrator who initiated the installation or reinstallation. Prior to Windows 8, if a device is flagged as needing to perform a finish-install action, Windows initially attempts to complete the finish-install actions by running a finish-install process at one of the following times:įor a device that is installed during Windows setup, the first time that an administrator logs on to Windows after Windows setup is finished.įor a device that is installed or reinstalled after Windows is installed, after the core device installation operations have completed, as follows:įor a hardware-first installation of a device, Windows runs the initial finish-install process. Installing supporting software that should accompany a driver can still be accomplished with a finish-install action, but it will not be installed automatically.
If installation fails, the software must prompt the user to try the installation again. Installing device software requires administrator permissions.
Instead, Windows prompts a user to “Finish installing device software” in the Notifications area or in Windows Action Center. When a device is installed with a driver that includes a finish-install action, the finish-install action will not automatically run. In Windows 8, and later versions of Windows, finish-install actions do not automatically run as part of device installation. Features described in this section are not supported in universal or mobile driver packages.
