Looks like the WDK cannot be installed during a build. Installation requires winget cmdlet which can only run in elevated pwsh script.

Hi @urielmann the existing versions of WDK for windows-2019[10.1.22000.1] and windows-2022[10.1.22621.2428], The requirement to Microsoft WDK 10.0.19041.0, and WDK 10.0.17763.0 is not possible, If required can be install in runtime/you can update to latest version, closing this issue, Thanks.
