Is this an official position from Microsoft in 2025... "turn off RGB"?! Seriously?!
Error with the ene.sys driver
For the past few days when I load my PC up, a pop-up will appear saying "a driver cannot load on this device". I have done countless things like updating my PC seeing if that works, uninstalling those updates, trying to relocate the file in C:\Windows\System32\drivers which doesn't show at all and going through troubleshooting. None of these things have been able to work and the error still pops up. Please could I have help on what to do I have have hit a dead end on what to do. The error is shown on the top.

2025-03-13T01:53:11+00:00 does this permit the driver to work or just block it?
Thanks,

2025-03-09T02:22:36+00:00 Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher was also the signature on my file. This made me wonder if it had something to do with Dynamic Lighting in Windows 11. When I turned it off and restarted my computer, the "cannot load driver" notification didn't pop up!
To test if this works for you, open Settings and type Dynamic Lighting or RGB in the search bar. Choose the option that says "Change lighting colors, brightness, and effects". Then, toggle both "Use Dynamic Lighting on my devices" and "Compatible apps in the foreground always control lighting" options to Off.
Good luck and hopes this helps!
