Windows 10: Memory integrity incompatible drivers

Hello, for a while I've had this issue where these two drivers stop me from turning memory integrity on, how can i get rid of them? is it safe to do it?

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

Windows 10 - Memory Integrity - Incompatible Drivers

Hi Kurnn,

I haven't tried deleting the files as of yet because I need my laptop for work, and I don't want to risk causing any stability issues in the meantime.

It's all a bit puzzling because my memory integrity setting was enabled before I intentionally disabled it for 64-bit virtualisation.

I'm also sure the drivers listed above were present whilst Memory Integrity was enabled before. I suspect there will be no conflict when I get the setting re-enabled. Could there be a solution which involves temporarily disabling the drivers so my system doesn't detect them whilst I re-enable memory integrity?

Autoruns lists each driver with a checkbox alongside, but disabling them had no effect, and my system still detects the conflicting drivers.

I appreciate the suggestion, but could there be another way, before I resort to deleting system files?

Thanks!

 

Incompatible drivers for Memory Integrity

Hi HBC. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, here to help you.

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:

3) Drivers which are already added to Windows System 32 driver folders can be surgically removed following this guide:

4) After reviewing all of these best resources you may decide to disable this feature for now. The best guide for this is here:
