I have a driver that is prohibiting me from turning on memory integrity. The driver is wdcsam64.sys. How do I turn it off or delete so I can turn on memory integrity?

If you don't need this driver (for operating an external Western Digital USB-drive), you may delete it:
Right-click on Start, then click Windows Powershell (Administrator). In the PowerShell window, enter and run the following command:
pnputil /delete-driver oem**##**.inf
Replace ## with the number that appears on the appropriate line of the Windows security message.
You should now be able to activate the memory integrity option.
That solution doesn't seem to work with Windows 11. When I check 'Device Manager' in Windows 11, 'Wdcsam64.sys' doesn't show. Can I locate it elsewhere?
I need the driver to run a Passport external hard drive. And tried updating the driver on my laptop but it says I have the most recent one. I see the hard drive listed in my device manager and it says it's working properly. But, I cannot access it in my file manager to open it.
I have deleted the driver but can still access my external WD Passport drive.
If I delete it how do I get my WD backup drive to function ?
