If you really want to stop a process go into the services section, go start, control panel, performance and maintenance, administrative tools, services.
For a listing of which you can turn off or disable or set to manual, go to Major Geeks hosting of Black Vipers work.

The wdfmgr.exe process is provides WDF (Windows Driver Foundation) compatibility to your computer. WDF is a technology that was developed by Microsoft to increase the overall stability of Windows device drivers. It is a core part of your operating system, and should be left running unless it is causing problems for your system.

wdfmgr.exe is flagged as a system process and does not appear to be a security risk. However, removing WDF Manager may adversly impact your system.
