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.

    In Windows security I got a massage that memory integrity in windows security is off. But I can't turn it on. Every time I try to turn it on but i get a massage that it can't turn on. Please help me to resolve my problem.

    I had five drivers preventing me from starting the Memory Integrity facility, four Logitech and one Western Digital. Three of them, which had the oem... identifier, I removed via the Terminal (Admin) course, as suggested. Two Logitech files, lvrs64.sys and lvuvc64.sys, I moved from the Windows 32 directory to the recycling bin, as suggested on another thread.

    When checking the Memory Integrity facility, after a reboot, it still insists that there are incompatible drivers, although none is listed.

    Where do I go from here? I would like to have the Memory Integrity facility in operation.

    Thanks

    Dr Paul

    Worked out really well until just after the 2nd instruction!

    Too complicated for mere mortals... endless pages on 'how to this that and the other....

    Instructions too vague for a mere mortal such as 'After that',(after what ?) Then use...(use what?) ... 'that is shown as problematic' (that what?) how do we know?

    Yes, I know, if you can't follow instructions then you should not be poking around here! ..

    Does anyone know if Windows is working on an update to fix this issue? I have been having this problem for at least 6 months now and would really like to be able to turn Memory Integrity back on to protect my laptop.

    I have the same problem but no driver that is listed when doing the scan. I've had this problem for many months and I know I'm not alone as I've seen similar posts on this.
