Core isolation on Windows 11 not possible, in my case, because of these drivers

I tried to find them in Windows/Sys32/drivers (as suggested in other forums) and deleting them but with no success so how can I solve the problem allowing the activation of core isolation?

Core isolation not allowed for driver incompatibility

Hi,

Here is what typically works for most of the users who know the driver name as it is mentioned in Windows Security. Apparently, Microsoft changed/updated the incompatible driver list recently, which has ended up this issue for most of the users.

Method 1:

You can get the list of drivers by running this command in the elevated command prompt:

dism /online /get-drivers /format:table

After that, Make note of the Published Name (ex: "oem13.inf") of the driver that is shown as problematic.

Then use the pnputil command to delete the driver from the device:

pnputil /delete-driver <Published Name> /uninstall /force​

Please note that running this command would remove the device driver and the next time you use the device, it would not work. Reinstalling the driver might help.

Method 2:

Another alternative is using Autoruns to delete the driver. Download it from here:

https://live.sysinternals.com/autoruns.exe

Run it as administrator.

Go to the Driver tab, locate the driver and delete the same.

    hi Ramesh, sorry for the late reply. I look here whenever I get a notification of a new reply to this thread.

    As of now, I still have Core Isolation and Memory Integrity enabled.

    But if I look at the security providers on my pc, I see this:

    I'm not sure how worried I should be about no providers for Web protection.

    I suppose that was supplied by Rapport, but I don't have a screenshot of this info when Rapport was active.

    Would you guess that my Antivirus + Firewall + Core Isolation(Memory Integrity) is enough protection?

    If I should take this question to another topic thread, I will.

    Thanks again for your time and help, and regards

    Tom

    Hi Tom,

    Rapport was always an optional add-on. I hope the anti malware I have will protect the websites I visit.

    If the windowsdefender://providers shows something like the below, Microsoft Defender AV and Firewall are in charge. You may want to check the security providers page, just in case.
