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.

"Here is what typically works for most of the users who know the driver name as it is mentioned in Windows Security"

What about the users that don't know the name of the driver?

Anyway, how can I find the name of the driver? what will stop working after I delete that driver?

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!!

The incompatible driver on my PC is a Huawei USB driver ew_usbccgpfiler.sys which is reported as the most up-to-date driver by Windows Update. If I delete it my USB devices stop working, including my mouse and keyboard, until the system reinstalls the same incompatible driver, and I still cannot turn on Memory Integrity, Any suggestions?

How are we supposed to know what driver it is? It doesnt tell us.

Sumit D neglected to mention that you need to click Review incompatible drivers which is a line of text displayed in the Core Isolation window, to get the list of drivers causing the issue.

PS - I tried uploading a screenshot to my reply but I get a "Something went wrong" error message.
