Windows 10: Can't turn on Memory integrity in Windows 11 due to Incompatible driver GEARAspiWDM.sys. I...

I have a new laptop that has been running fine, no issues with Windows 11 Pro.I didn't install anything new on my laptop except for the most recent Windows Update.Something must have changed in this Windows update around the end of September 2022 because I'm seeing many people complaining about very similar problems that I am also having, and I don't see any real solution being offered. The first clue was a Yellow Triangle with an explanation mark warning over the "Window's Security Icon".When I clicked on it, I see the same warning symbol on "Memory Integrity is off" "Your device may be vulne

Memory Integrity Can't Be turned On Due To Incompatible Driver - WinVDEdrv6.sys

I've been trying to activate Core Isolation on my laptop but the driver "WinVDEdrv6.sys" is preventing me from doing so.

I receive the following message that "Memory Integrity Can't Be turned On Due To Incompatible Driver - WinVDEdrv6.sys"

I found the file "WinVDEdrv6.sys" in Windows>SysWOW64 folder.

There was also another file "WinVDEdrv.sys" in the same folder.

Any ideas how the memory integrity could be turned on?

Thank you for your support!

Windows 10 - Memory Integrity - Incompatible Drivers

Good day all,

Please could someone advise how I might identify and safely remove/disable/update the following incompatible drivers, so that memory integrity can be re-enabled.

The incompatible drivers are as follows;
- ftdibus.sys
- wdcsam64_prewin8.sys
- PxHIpa64.sys
- SaiH0C2D.sys
- tib.sys

Autoruns lists nearly all of these files however I have not used this utility before, so thought it's best I ask first.

Any and all suggestions are very much appreciated!

Windows Ver.: Windows 10 20H2 Build 19042.870

Many thanks,
Koray
