    I have solved my wdscam64.sys problem using a combination of some of the other people solution..

    First.. you need to uninstall WD SES Device driver to fix the wdcsam64.sys memory integrity error

    1. go to Device Manager
    2. Click View > Show hidden devices.
    3. Find WD Drive Management devices. Right-click WD SES Device and select Uninstall.

    then i open the windows terminal (admin) and uninstall the driver usingpnputil /delete-driver oem0.inf

    if you dont uninstall the WD SES Device first.. it wont allow to delete the oem0.inf

    you'll need to restart pc and now you can turn memory integrity back on again

    I reinstalled the software for the WD device and the problem went away.

    After failing multiple times, I eventually found this link to download WD Discovery tool https://downloads.wdc.com/wdapp/Install\_WD\_Discovery\_for\_Windows.zip

    During the installation process the outdated drivers were removed and I was then able to turn on Memory Integrity in Device Security Settings. Hope this helps others.

    f you microsoft. normal people don't understand this nonsense or recommended solutions which involve tinkering with registry or system files. Everytime you push out a "windows update" **** like this happens.

    I have the same issue -- the driver fails to load and I need it for my external hard drive backup. This error showed up last week with a Windows update.
