    I should have added I moved my system image from a dying Dell to another brand laptop and had already deleted all the Dell apps, so didn't have that concern.

    You might consider creating a system image (Control Panel -> File History -> System Image Backup -> Create a system image) before deleting any of them, and perhaps take a guess at which ones you could delete without impacting hardware and trying to enable Core Isolation after each deletion. Here are the five enumerated drivers from Dell that were on my system (Windows 7 -> Windows 10 -> Windows 11 following migration to new hardware):

    P.S. don't ask why I didn't just start with a fresh OS install, but probably anyone reading this is in a similar boat ;-).

    Just to say I tried a fresh OS install and it still didn't help although now at least MSE virus protection doesn't see the memory integrity being off as a problem. Before it came up orange and told me I wasn't protected.

    Having spoken to other professionals on this I think it really doesn't matter if memory integrity is off. Its probably another thing that MS thought to be a good idea but didn't give the developers enough time to finish testing before release. It would be nice if they would just say this. There you go Mr Microsoft - I'll do your job for you !!
