I got an error message saying that I can't turn on Memory Integrity due to the following drivers:

usb2ser.sys & wdcsam64_prewin8.sys

I can't find these files anywhere in this laptop.

Please Help.

    You wrote the files will not delete. May I please ask you to clarify: (?)

    as in from device manager, so it does not load

    as in the sub-directory, where the file names are shown

    This is getting above my pay grade. I ~think systems allow un-used files to stick around without loading.

    I can find the file and need to delete it, but the system won't let me, and I am the administrator

    My wdcsam64_prewin8.sys is in System32\filerepository but it won't let me change the name unless I have administrator permissions.
