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?

    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
    • 
          + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (pnputil/delete-...m64\_prewin8.sys:String) [], CommandNotFoundException 
      
          + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException  "

    I've been reading all of the replies here and also could not delete the files of gain permission to delete them. I finally went to Western Digital's website and they stated that the fix is to download the LATEST software from the site. I followed their steps, and alas, it worked! I guess it removed the wdcsan64.sys file and replaced it with one that allows one to reactivate the memory integrity. I was actually not expecting to work, but it did! Here is a link to the first steps for anyone else who has tried everything:
