Windows 11. How can I identify incompatible drivers so I can turn on Memory Integrity?

I have tried to turn on Memory Integrity. Nothing happens when I push the "on" button. I push "Scan Again". I get a popup that says Memory Integrity cannot be turned on and I should resolve an incompatible drivers. I push the button "Remove incompatible drivers" and it takes me to a page "Incompatible drivers" that says resolving incompatibilities with these drivers will enable you to turn on Memory Integrity.

But no drivers are listed in the blank space. Only another prompt to Learn how to resolve problems with incompatible drivers, and when I push this it takes me to another page "Why do incompatible drivers prevent using Memory Integrity?"

What I need is to find out what drivers are incompatible so I can start the process to resolve the issue.

How do I find out which drivers are incompatible?

    to then remove the driver(s) click on the driver in the list and a drop down will gice you the filename of the .inf file which contains installation instructions. Stick that in the following command and execute from an admin window.

    pnputil /delete-driver oemxx.inf /uninstall force /reboot]

    I have a similar problem. In my case, the incompatible driver is listed. Something to do with Western Digital. But I do not have any Western Digital devices. All my drives are Seagate. I confirmed this looking through the Device Manager.

    How can I find out what device is using the driver? Alternatively, how can I delete it? The System folder refuses to let me delete or rename anything.

    Thanks for your help

    Please use one of these apps to delete the incompatible driver.

    this didn't work. there are no yellow exclamation marks.

    the driver that is stalling me from resetting my Memory integrity is wdcsam64.sys, and it's listed twice

    Please use Autoruns to remove the driver.

    (If one entry is still listed, post a screenshot.)
