```
FS0:\> SimpleClassUser.efi
Error! Can't find any handle with gSimpleClassProtocolGuid: Not Found
```
+It is understandable, our protocol is not yet installed in the system. Let's install it and use our app.
+```
+FS0:\> load SimpleClassProtocol.efi
+Hello from SimpleClassProtocol driver, handle=6695318
+Image 'FS0:\SimpleClassProtocol.efi' loaded at 6645000 - Success
+FS0:\> SimpleClassUser.efi
+Handle = 6695318
+Number before=0
+Number after=5
+```
+
+We can see handles for our driver and its protocol with `dh`:
+```
+FS0:\> dh
+...
+C6: ImageDevicePath(..C1)/\SimpleClassProtocol.efi) LoadedImage(\SimpleClassProtocol.efi)
+C7: B5510EEA-6F11-4E4B-AD0F-35CE17BD7A67
+```
+
+If we execute `SimpleClassUser.efi` again, the number would increase from 5 to 10. It means that the `number` value is really stored outside `SimpleClassUser.efi`. As you can guess, it is stored in a protocol with a handle `C7`.
+```
+FS0:\> SimpleClassUser.efi
+Handle = 6695318
+Number before=5
+Number after=10
+```
+
+We can load another copy of our `SimpleClassProtocol.efi` driver:
+```
+FS0:\> load SimpleClassProtocol.efi
+Hello from SimpleClassProtocol driver, handle=6635498
+Image 'FS0:\SimpleClassProtocol.efi' loaded at 6631000 - Success
+```
+Now there would be two protocol handles in the system C7 and C9:
+```
+FS0:\> dh
+...
+C6: ImageDevicePath(..C1)/\SimpleClassProtocol.efi) LoadedImage(\SimpleClassProtocol.efi)
+C7: B5510EEA-6F11-4E4B-AD0F-35CE17BD7A67
+C8: ImageDevicePath(..C1)/\SimpleClassProtocol.efi) LoadedImage(\SimpleClassProtocol.efi)
+C9: B5510EEA-6F11-4E4B-AD0F-35CE17BD7A67
+```
+
+If we execute our `SimpleClassUser.efi` application again, we'll see, that 2 separate version of `number` exist in the system:
+```
+FS0:\> SimpleClassUser.efi
+Handle = 6695318
+Number before=10
+Number after=15
+Handle = 6635498
+Number before=0
+Number after=5
+```
+
+We didn't implement unload function in our driver yet, so it is not possible to unload them.
+
+# IMAGE_UNLOAD
+
+Let's implemet unload function in our protocol driver (UefiLessonsPkg/SimpleClassProtocol/SimpleClassProtocol.inf):
+```
+[Defines]
+ ...
+ UNLOAD_IMAGE = SimpleClassProtocolDriverUnload
+```
+
+For now write it like this (UefiLessonsPkg/SimpleClassProtocol/SimpleClassProtocol.c):
+```
+EFI_STATUS
+EFIAPI
+SimpleClassProtocolDriverUnload (
+ IN EFI_HANDLE ImageHandle
+ )
+{
+ Print(L"Bye-bye from SimpleClassProtocol driver, handle=%p\n", mSimpleClassHandle);
+ return EFI_SUCCESS;
+}
+```
+
+Let's test again. Load driver and execute our app once:
+```
+FS0:\> load SimpleClassProtocol.efi
+Hello from SimpleClassProtocol driver, handle=665B618
+Image 'FS0:\SimpleClassProtocol.efi' loaded at 6646000 - Success
+FS0:\> SimpleClassUser.efi
+Handle = 665B618
+Number before=0
+Number after=5
+FS0:\> dh
+...
+C6: ImageDevicePath(..C1)/\SimpleClassProtocol.efi) LoadedImage(\SimpleClassProtocol.efi)
+C7: B5510EEA-6F11-4E4B-AD0F-35CE17BD7A67
+```
+
+It is not possible to perform unload for the protocol handler (C7), but as we've implemented unload function for our driver let's to try unload it:
+```
+FS0:\> unload c7
+Unload - Handle [665B618]. [y/n]?
+y
+Unload - Handle [665B618] Result Invalid Parameter.
+FS0:\> unload c6
+Unload - Handle [665FF18]. [y/n]?
+y
+Bye-bye from SimpleClassProtocol driver, handle=665B618
+Unload - Handle [665FF18] Result Success.
+```
+
+But there is a problem - C7 is still in the system:
+```
+FS0:\> dh
+...
+C7: B5510EEA-6F11-4E4B-AD0F-35CE17BD7A67
+```
+
+Now if we try to execute our app we would get an exception. `OpenProtocol` call would give the same address for the protocol, but now this memory is freed, and a call to protocol functions like `SimpleClass->GetNumber` would crash the system:
+```

+
+To fix this we need to uninstall our protocol from the system on the driver unload.
+
+# Uninstall protocol interface
+
+Like with the protocol interface install there are two functions in UEFI API for the protocol uninstallation. The obsolete one `UninstallProtocolInterface` and a new one `UninstallMultipleProtocolInterfaces`:
+```
+EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.UninstallProtocolInterface()
+
+Summary:
+Removes a protocol interface from a device handle. It is recommended that UninstallMultipleProtocolInterfaces() be used in place of
+UninstallProtocolInterface().
+
+Prototype:
+typedef
+EFI_STATUS
+(EFIAPI *EFI_UNINSTALL_PROTOCOL_INTERFACE) (
+ IN EFI_HANDLE Handle,
+ IN EFI_GUID *Protocol,
+ IN VOID *Interface
+ );
+
+Parameters:
+Handle The handle on which the interface was installed. If Handle is not a
+ valid handle, then EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned.
+Protocol The numeric ID of the interface.
+Interface A pointer to the interface. NULL can be used if a structure is not associated with Protocol.
+
+Description:
+The UninstallProtocolInterface() function removes a protocol interface from the handle on
+which it was previously installed. The Protocol and Interface values define the protocol interface to
+remove from the handle.
+If the last protocol interface is removed from a handle, the handle is freed and is no longer valid.
+```
+
+```
+EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.UninstallMultipleProtocolInterfaces()
+
+Summary:
+Removes one or more protocol interfaces into the boot services environment.
+
+Prototype:
+typedef
+EFI_STATUS
+EFIAPI *EFI_UNINSTALL_MULTIPLE_PROTOCOL_INTERFACES) (
+ IN EFI_HANDLE Handle,
+ ...
+ );
+
+Parameters:
+Handle The handle to remove the protocol interfaces from.
+... A variable argument list containing pairs of protocol GUIDs and protocol interfaces.
+
+Description:
+This function removes a set of protocol interfaces from the boot services environment. It removes
+arguments from the variable argument list in pairs. The first item is always a pointer to the protocol’s
+GUID, and the second item is always a pointer to the protocol’s interface. These pairs are used to call the
+boot service EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.UninstallProtocolInterface() to remove a protocol
+interface from Handle. The pairs of arguments are removed in order from the variable argument list until
+a NULL protocol GUID value is found
+```
+
+Let's call `UninstallMultipleProtocolInterfaces` on the driver unload:
+```
+EFI_STATUS
+EFIAPI
+SimpleClassProtocolDriverUnload (
+ IN EFI_HANDLE ImageHandle
+ )
+{
+ Print(L"Bye-bye from SimpleClassProtocol driver, handle=%p\n", mSimpleClassHandle);
+
+ EFI_STATUS Status = gBS->UninstallMultipleProtocolInterfaces(
+ mSimpleClassHandle,
+ &gSimpleClassProtocolGuid,
+ &mSimpleClass,
+ NULL
+ );
+
+ return Status;
+}
+```
+
+Now build and perform our experiments again.
+
+Load driver and execute our app once:
+```
+FS0:\> load SimpleClassProtocol.efi
+Hello from SimpleClassProtocol driver, handle=665F118
+Image 'FS0:\SimpleClassProtocol.efi' loaded at 6645000 - Success
+FS0:\> SimpleClassUser.efi
+Handle = 665F118
+Number before=0
+Number after=5
+FS0:\> dh
+...
+C6: ImageDevicePath(..C1)/\SimpleClassProtocol.efi) LoadedImage(\SimpleClassProtocol.efi)
+C7: B5510EEA-6F11-4E4B-AD0F-35CE17BD7A67
+```
+Load another copy of the driver and execute our app again:
+```
+FS0:\> load SimpleClassProtocol.efi
+Hello from SimpleClassProtocol driver, handle=6636898
+Image 'FS0:\SimpleClassProtocol.efi' loaded at 6630000 - Success
+FS0:\> SimpleClassUser.efi
+Handle = 665F118
+Number before=5
+Number after=10
+Handle = 6636898
+Number before=0
+Number after=5
+FS0:\> dh
+...
+C6: ImageDevicePath(..C1)/\SimpleClassProtocol.efi) LoadedImage(\SimpleClassProtocol.efi)
+C7: B5510EEA-6F11-4E4B-AD0F-35CE17BD7A67
+C8: ImageDevicePath(..C1)/\SimpleClassProtocol.efi) LoadedImage(\SimpleClassProtocol.efi)
+C9: B5510EEA-6F11-4E4B-AD0F-35CE17BD7A67
+```
+Now there are two protocols/drivers in the system. Let's try to unload the first one.
+```
+FS0:\> unload c6
+Unload - Handle [665F018]. [y/n]?
+y
+Bye-bye from SimpleClassProtocol driver, handle=665F118
+Unload - Handle [665F018] Result Success.
+FS0:\> dh
+C8: ImageDevicePath(..C1)/\SimpleClassProtocol.efi) LoadedImage(\SimpleClassProtocol.efi)
+C9: B5510EEA-6F11-4E4B-AD0F-35CE17BD7A67
+```
+If we execute our app again, we would see, that that now there is only one handle in the system with the `SimpleClass` protocol, it's valid, and it was completely undisturbed by another protocol uninstall process:
+```
+FS0:\> SimpleClassUser.efi
+Handle = 6636898
+Number before=5
+Number after=10
+```
+
