Windows 10: oem26.inf

The past few days my PC keeps crashing when I load up a game. I have made sure that Windows and my Drivers are fully updated. I went into event viewer and oem26.inf is erroring could this be the issue to my problem and is there a fix for it. If someone knows anything or can help I would truly appreciate it

Core Isolation (Memory Integrity) disabled due to incompatible driver usb2ser.sys

As Rob noted, oem26.inf is specific to your installation. On my installation oem26.inf is the Intel Optane driver.

To dump a list of third party drivers to list.txt on your desktop, open an admin Powershell, then paste in and press enter

dism /online /get-drivers /format:table | Out-File "$([environment]::getfolderpath('Desktop'))\list.txt"

 

Touchpad (or mouse) INF file

Hi Dave,

I could find "msmouse.inf" under the Events tab in the past and actually inserted this INF file. But, it doesn't load the touchpad driver. It seems to load "mouhid.sys" but for some reason, it doesn't show a mouse pointer on WinPE. Thanks for your suggestion though.

 

oem157.inf oem158.inf blocking Windows 11 upgrade

Repeated attempts to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 have been "hard" blocked by XPS and PDF drivers oem157.inf and oem158.inf. This exact scenario has been reported/documented before with early upgrades to Windows 10. The documented solution steps from this historical issue have not been successful in resolving my current Windows 11 upgrade failures.

XPS and PDF features have been disabled. Every primary and secondary reference linked to oem157 and oem158 has been removed from the registry and the oem157 and oem158 files removed from the Windows/INF folder, yet the Windows 11 upgrade continues to fail with 0xC0900209 error which is caused by oem157.inf and oem158.inf. DISM and SFC have been used to no benefit in this issue.

Would the existence of the prnms001 and prnms009 folders/files in the Windows/System32/DriverStore/FileRepository folder cause the Windows 11 upgrade to be blocked by oem157 and oem158? Are there other items that need to be "cleaned" of the XPS and PDF driver references to allow Windows 11 upgrade to be successful?

Thanks for any suggestions.

P.S. XPS and PDF printer devices have all been deleted.
