There are a rising number of cases of Memory Integrity recently, which according to a senior MVP and Moderator here is due to another attempt by Microsoft to certify manufacturer's drivers - something which has been tried and failed before due to some manufacturers ignoring it. It also appears to be buggy because its flagging Windows System drivers. Here is what you can do:

1) Make sure Secure Boot and TPM are enabled to get the full stable Security benefits of Windows 11:

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!
