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.

    Any error message is displayed while turning on memory integrity.

    Go to Bios, enable hardware virtualization support,

    enable UEFI mode, Enable Secure boot and enable TPM device support.

    Save and exit from bios, boot windows , then turn on Memory Integrity.

    I don't know about Windows 11, but in Windows 10 the problem of memory integrity not running is due to some old driver in your computer's internal driver store.

    If that is similar in Windows 11 for your computer, then here is the procedure to delete problematic driver from your computer, thus allowing memory integrity to stay on.
