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.

    I have the exact same issue as you guys, TSM007 and David, and, after trying basically every fix suggestion I could find, my best guess as to what happened is latest Windows Updates came with a bug, the one TSM mentioned.

    I'm not an expert so don't take my word for it, but I have tried uninstalling some of the recent updates I was able to, which did not fix the problem. However, some of then can't be undone. Specifically, there has been an update to Windows Security, "Update for Windows Security platform antimalware platform - KB5007651 (Version 1.0.2303.28002)", which I suspect is where the problem might be coming from. Hopefully, this will be fixed soon so keep an eye for newer updates. If I find a workaround, I'll let you know.

    Exactly, HesleyT. My results came up with a few pages of "drivers" the majority were "oemxxx.inf" which I assume are Microsoft/Windows files.

    Do I remove them all?

    Seems to me MS has once again tripped itself up. My laptop has developed a lag and I am assuming it is because of this one "security" "integrity" feature not being happy.

    Once again the security settings does not show which file is "problematic", and following the terminal instructions has displayed a list of 99 files, revealing that Windows is confusing itself again and telling me I should probably back everything up, make sure I have all my non- Microsoft software installation files and registration info saved, and prepare for a fatal mysterious system crash as has happened to me with every MS Windows OS since 1993.

    Finally figured it out for ASUS motherboards. Here is what to do.

    1. Power on the system and press[delete] key to enter BIOS
    2. Press F7 to enter Advanced Mode.
    3. Enter the menu "CPU Configuration."
    4. Move to the SVM Mode menu and switch this to "Enabled." (If you are an ASUS board user like me, I will bet that your SVM Mode is currently set to "Disabled.")

    As to the rest of the steps, you will just need to follow what the Windows Security menu tells you to do afterwards.

    Here's a YouTube link basically doing what I've described in text above.

    Hope it does magics for you like it did for me!!
