    Is it possible the Yoga just has virtualization disabled in BIOS? That would stop memory integrity from working.

    Thanks,

    I had to uninstall the wdcsam64_prewin8.sys (2 occurrences) and now I can turn on memory integrity. 😊

    If it was that simple, I think they would have stated that in the Lenovo Forum.

    I just went through the Bios and enabled Virtualization now I can get Core Isolation

    Now you can go to Lenovo forums, tell everyone and be a hero 😁

    but give credit to DwayneHall 😉

    Just trying to get rid of the incompatible driver now and I should be in business.

    Thanks to DwayneHall 😊

    But I'll go through the Bios to see if there is anything about virtualization that needs to be enabled.

    Task Manager shows Virtualization Disabled.

    I test that with my business laptop (I'm not at home now) running Windows 10.

    Disabling Virtualization from BIOS remove Memory Integrity option from Defender settings.

    I just went through the Bios and enabled Virtualization now I can get Core Isolation,

    but found 2 incompatible drivers that should be easy to fix. I only use external drive WD, I have to find the correct new drivers, I guess.
