Marc Says:

Microsoft created some tools that aid in the creation of high-quality, reliable drivers for Windows. The User-Mode Driver Framework is one of those tools, and it allows developers to write certain classes of driver that can run in user-mode.

The Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework service manages those “user-mode” drivers on a Windows PC.
