Windows 10: Driver ene.sys

Out of the blue, I got this error after installing the latest NVidia driver, although I'm not convinced this is the culprit. I uninstalled the whole of the NVidia but the error message kept coming up on reboot. So obviously, that wasn't or isn't the problem.It informs me "A security setting is detecting this as a vulnerable Driver and blocking it from loading. You'll need to adjust your settings to load this Driver." Looking at this at various sites, the one that worked is changing the ene.sys to ene.old, which doesn't give me the aforementioned message anymore in a popup on reboot. But I'm no

What is semav6msr64.sys & Mellanox Drivers?


I noticed semav6msr64.sys on my system earlier today (also via Autoruns), and eventually tracked down the program which installed it - you heard it here first! It's an Intel file, and just coincidence that SEMA Software authored a driver file with the same name.

On my system the driver was installed by the Intel Driver Update Utility Installer, which I'd installed to update my Intel drivers. Uninstalling this program after use doesn't uninstall semav6msr64.sys, presumably due either to a bug in the uninstaller or to laziness of the development team who wrote it. I don't like leaving software package remnants on my system for no good reason, so removed it as follows:

1. Create a System Restore Point in case the following steps cause any problems.
2. Uninstall Intel Driver Update Utility Installer, if it appears in the installed programs list in Control Panel.
3. Rename semav6msr64.sys to semav6msr64.sys.bk [to be deleted sometime later if no problems are encountered].
4. If, and only if, you're comfortable editing the registry, delete the following keys (otherwise just leave them, they'll have negligible effect):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SEMAV6MSR64
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\semav6msr64

 

What is semav6msr64.sys & Mellanox Drivers?

Thanks - as I further check, I first disabled semav6msr64.sys using Autoruns then rebooted. I didn't have the first registry key but deleted the second and deleted the driver file. I now have no trace of semav6msr64.sys.
