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.

    If anyone is still struggling with this, I ran into a second issue while trying to solve the integrity Memory problem and it let me to do a Repair Upgrade for Windows. So after doing that, the integrity memory is now working properly, even though I didn't intend to fix it with it haha. Give it a try (and make sure to keep personal fiels and apps, so you don't lose any important information doing it)

    Link to how to Repair Upgrade

    For Windows 11

    Check what drivers are conflicting in core isolation, you should get a link with conflicting drivers after a scan.

    Beneath each driver should be oem followed by a number

    Search for CMD and open it as Admin

    Type in or select and paste this into your CMD window, replace <number>

    pnputil.exe –f –d oem<number>.inf

    For example C:\Windows\System32>pnputil.exe –f –d oem10.inf.

    Hit Enter and the driver should be successfully deleted.

    This will force delete the driver and allow you to get memory integrity running.

    and for the few billion of us that NO DRIVER IS LISTED - how do we discover which one to delete oh wait maybe we should just delete them all and migrate to apple ? your basing your solution on the system telling us which one is in conflict and thats just not so - it has been specified by many users in this thread that upon clicking review that there is nothing listed - and i am amongst that group so im sure u can appreciate how frustrating < no i wont turn on because xxx > but no i wont tell u which one it is either so neh neh ne neh neh :P - >

    so please elaborate HOW to fix this - when nothing show in review incompatable click link thing
