    I have discovered an incompatible driver that stops me from turning "Memory Integrity" on.

    When I try to delete the wdcsam64_prewin8sys via the Windows PowerShell Administrator using "pnputil/delete-driver oemwdcsam64_prewin8.sys it says "to delete driver package: The specified file is not an installed OEM INF.

    PS C:\Users\Owner> pnputil/delete-driveroemwdcsam64_prewin8.sys

    pnputil/delete-driveroemwdcsam64_prewin8.sys : The term 'pnputil/delete-driveroemwdcsam64_prewin8.sys' is not

    recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if

    a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

    At line:1 char:1

    • pnputil/delete-driveroemwdcsam64_prewin8.sys
    •

    C:\Users\Yanke> pnputil /delete-driver oem4.inf

    Microsoft PnP Utility

    Failed to delete driver package: One or more devices are presently installed using the specified INF.

    Do I need to uninstall Western Digital program?

    I could not delete the driver per instructions. What else can I try?

    I am not able to do that because it says one or more drivers are using the specified INF

    I had the same issue. Was a little complicated but I opened the file's properties then changed the ownership to "Everyone" then edited permissions by ticking "full control" for everyone.

    I think it did it for all system files though because I didn't have to redo the process for the other ones. I am half way through but will change the permissions back when I'm done. Also I didn't delete, I noted exact address paths before I cut and pasted them into another folder on the desktop (just in case it messes something up).
