Windows 10: wdcsam64.sys A security setting is preventing this driver from loading

wdcsam64.sys note says a security setting is preventing this driver from loading

:)

 

Issues installing WE_SES_Driver, wdcsam64.sys

I tried running the setup file as an admin, tried to delete it in the file explorer and via the command line but it would not delete due to my permissions. So I changed the permissions and that did not work either. I get the error "A driver cannot load on this device. Driver: wdcsam64.sys A security setting is preventing this driver from loading. You'll need to adjust your settings to load this driver." I am running Windows 11 22H2.

 

Wdcsam64.sys driver preventing me from turning on memory integrity

I have a driver that is prohibiting me from turning on memory integrity. The driver is wdcsam64.sys. How do I turn it off or delete so I can turn on memory integrity?

 

undate or delete wdcsam64.sys

Hi MALLJ,

I'm Paul and I'm here to help you with your concern.

No, it's only for the external drive. If you don't have to use the external drive then you can delete/remove the incompatible driver.

Can you try to uninstall the incompatible driver using Command Prompt?

>Open Command Prompt as Admin.

> Copy-paste the command below.

pnputil /delete-driver <example.inf> /uninstall

**(replace the <example.inf> with the published name of "wdcsam64.sys". You can get it by opening Windows Security > Device Security > Core Isolation details > Review Incompatible drivers > click wdcsam64.sys > get Published name**

> Then Open Windows Security Core Isolation and Scan again for incompatible driver.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.
