Abstract
Dynamic device enablement is provided. A device management application can be configured as a shell application and can be customized dynamically with plugins for devices that are connected to a computing device. The plugins can be defined within driver metadata of drivers for the devices. When the drivers are loaded, the device management application can access the driver metadata to dynamically determine which plugins to install and can then automatically install them.
