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?

Original title:

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.

    Even after All Incompatible Drivers were Uninstalled successfully, I cannot enable "CORE ISOLATION"

    No more Incompatible Drivers are shown nor I can restart Core Isolation again.

    I couldn't find it by the first method, so I tried the second and found it. I deleted it, but it's still showing the same driver issue, and it's not showing up in autorun either.

    Please, if you know of any other method, let me know.

    hello, I saw your reply and wanted to ask about Rapport. I update every time the prompt appears to install a new version of Rapport so I think I have the latest version, and I'm current with all Windows updates.

    But I'm not sure if this list below are older versions of Rapport, and if they are older, is it safe to use one of the command line options to delete these drivers (found the command line answers in other posts about memory integrity)?

    Thanks for your help, and regards,

    Tom
