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.

    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.

    Hi Sumit!

    This instruction looks pretty neat!

    However, my issue is that my OS doesn't tell me which exactly drivers cause the issue.

    How am I supposed to know which of them I am supposed to uninstall?

    Thank you!

    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.
