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.

    So I seem to have fixed it for the case where no incompatible drivers are found but core isolation memory integrity can't be turned on. I did an in-place repair upgrade of my Win 11 installation (see https://www.elevenforum.com/t/repair-install-windows-11-with-an-in-place-upgrade.418/) and it seems to have sorted out the issue. I can now turn on and off the core isolation memory integrity.

    Windows 11

    My core memory will not turn on either. I have tried rebooting;

    It allows me to turn on and then grays out so it isn't on, states it is off.

    I click review incompatible drivers but it does not show me any

    I can't seem to find easy or relevant instructions on next steps since I can't see the drivers

    1. Just click on "Core isolation details" under Core isolation
    2. Click on "Review incompatible drivers" to view the incompatible drivers
    3. Then you can just use the Published name of those drivers from the respective list and use the following command to delete the drivers:

    pnputil /delete-driver <Published Name> /uninstall /forceAlso, please note that you would have to reinstall the driver for the device to work as usual.
