I am getting a warning in Windows 11 that "memory integrity is off" and it may make my PC vulneable. t suggests incompatible drivers might b the problem and tells me not to dete them but doesn't tell me what to do. Groan. I thought I had waited long enough for this OS to be cleaned up and working properly. I was wrong.

Hi, I'm having a similar problem in that I can't turn on my Memory Integrity. In the "core isolation details" it doesn't offer or show me any incompatibility drivers so I don't know where to hunt for them. Do I need to delete some unwanted drivers? How do I know which drivers are "unwanted" so that it will allow me to turn on the Memory Integrity? Thanks!
I am having this same issue.
Memory Integrity is turned off under "Core Memory" and when I hit the scan button, I get the "Memory Integrity can't be turned on, try resolving any incompatibilites with your drivers".
But clicking on the "Review Incompatible Drivers" link doesn't show any incompatible drivers. It just gives me the following link, which is not remotely helpful: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/why-do-incompatible-drivers-prevent-using-memory-integrity-0b7ae567-74de-ee03-1030-9e6fe0d6f4b6
I would like to add that a Microsoft tech said that I needed to reinstall Windows 11 and that would fix the problem. IT DID NOT. I would like to know what tripped the "memory integrity" error and indication of incompatible driver. This all happened following updating to Windows 11.
Hi Christine, thank you for your response!
As for your question of whether it's safe. We can try to deal with these incompatible drivers so that the Memory Integrity feature can be enabled properly and you won't be receive warning.
You have made two attempts to deal with driver incompatibilities, which is significant.
However, these methods may not be able to accurately identify programs that are incompatible with turning on Memory Integrity.
You are getting "Incompatible Drivers" when you turn on "Memory Integrity", as far as I know, this error page usually lists the incompatible drivers on your computer, could you please check this page first to see if there are any relevant incompatible drivers?
What we need to do is to find these incompatible drivers in the device manager and upgrade or uninstall them.
If it's convenient, please send me a screenshot of the incompatible program and I will guide you to the next step.

Immediately uninstall McAfee and malware bits as both are trash and slow down your computer.
Microsoft Defender runs very efficiently and comes with Windows 10 and Windows 11. It does a very good job protecting your PC.
