Microsoft’s User Mode Driver Manager service
Wdfmgr / UMWdf / Wdfmgr.exe

At the time of writing this service gets installed on Windows XP when you either
install Windows Media Player 10, or when you upgrade to Service Pack 2
for Windows XP.  Introduced in September 2004.
This service is part of the new device driver strategy from Microsoft
for Windows 2000/XP/2003 and future versions of Windows :
this strategy, the  Windows Driver Foundation (WDF),  aims to make it significantly
simpler to write drivers for tomorrow’s Windows environments which hopefully will
lead to higher quality and more reliable drivers; ...bla ...bla

Recommendation :
At the time of writing, 16‑Oct‑2004, we do not know of a single product
which has implemented WDF drivers. Thus, the more advanced users may
wish to set the Startup Mode of this service to Manual on the Services
tab of The Ultimate Troubleshooter
till the time that they one day need to
install a WDF driver as, then, they will need to set the  Startup Mode  back
to Automatic to enable the WDF drivers to work properly.
Less advanced users should leave this service alone as, sometime in 2005,
we will start seeing drivers which need this service to be running.
