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.

    Thank gawd the gods of the internet themselves finally addressed this issue, I was getting sick of seeing the same “incompatible driver detected” message over and over again.

    I had an issue with Ftdibus.sys not letting me turn on Memory integrity so I followed the instructions that were given here and downloaded CDMuninstaller.exe from the FTDI website. Ran it, uninstalled it. was able to turn memory integrity on. but then this happened....

    Every time I restart, it still says the same. Turned off and on again. Restarted. Turned off LSA protection and turned it back on. Restarted. Turned off and on again. No change, still says its off and requires a restart. Reinstalled Ftdibus.sys from the website. No change, checked windows update. No updates. What could be the cause of this?
