The Windows Update Code Download Manager (CDM) provides drivers from Windows Update to the Device Manager wizards, including the Add Printer wizard and the Add New Hardware wizard. This component provides a layer of Application Programming Interface (API) elements that isolate the intricacies of working with the Windows Update service and offer an easy way to implement driver installs and updates.
This component includes a single dynamic-link library (DLL), cdm.dll, which is loaded by Device Manager, the Add Printer wizard, and the Add New Hardware wizard. The DLL depends on the Windows Update Base component for much of its functionality.
