    This particular solution worked very well for Windows 11. Easy and no side effects (yet!)

    I have 5 items similar to wdcsam64.sys there. Do I delete ALL of them? I tried to delete the pre-win8 sys file but I too got the no can do unless system administrator message, which I am. I give up. windows says security is fine on the computer and I have other security so I officially give up on this.

    Found a simple solution for Windows 11:

    1. Open File Explorer and go to OS (Local Disk C)
    2. Type in search bar wdcsam64.sys
    3. Wait for full search to end.
    4. Choose and delete the item with the description similar to "Wdcsam64.sys"
    5. Do a restart.
    6. Go to Core Isolation and activated
