    Core Isolation not possible because driver cannot be located


    I've been having trouble enabling core isolation on my pc because of the xusb.sys driver. I've attempted removing multiple drivers but windows security still detects it.I followed this guide: and could get neither method to work, I can't seem to find the actual driver to uninstall.https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/cannot-enable-core-isolation-in-windows-11-due-to/a5dd80a4-5372-4ec4-b3fe-58385b381000I'm including my OS info since this only started a few days ago. Any advise would be appreciated

    core isolation blocked by ew_usbccgpfilter.sys

    Windows 11 Pro Eval Build 22581 on SurfaceBook1

    Core Isolation was disabled, due to Western Digital drivers, and HuaWei drivers, including the star of our show, ew_usbccgpfilter.sys!

    Go to Privacy and Security, in Core Isolation, open Core Isolation Details, run the scan, on the report, expand all together, and screenshot it, so you've got your "hit list".

    The WD drivers and all the other HW drivers were deleted in Device Manager, .view . devices by driver, go down to the target, give it the big D!

    Now for the exception: ew_~.sys is not locatable in Device driver. I tried sending Windows Search out for it, but even most of an hour came back as a failure - no data.

    I searched about the internet, got some ideas to look in various "driver* " locations, and voila! I found the bugger in Windows > System32> drivers.

    Deletion was easy, then went back to Privacy & Security, enabled core isolation, and rebooted.

    I wish this had never happened. I wasted three hours on the result of corporate negligence.

    Issues Enabling Core Isolation in Windows 10 ver. 20H2

    Hi,
    I am unable to enable Core Isolation due to the fact that I seem to have several "Incompatible drivers". These drivers are listed as follows:

    Core Isolation not possible because driver cannot be located [​IMG]

    Core Isolation not possible because driver cannot be located [​IMG]


    I've tried everything I can think of to locate these, and either remove them, or update them, but I can't even seem to find them!

    Please help!

    Core isolation not turning on

    I am running a AMD build with windows 10 and had my core isolation on prior. I downloaded an update on a driver for my Elgato game capture and now my Core isolation will not turn back on.
