    To resolve the incompatible driver issue when attempting to enable memory integrity after previously disabling it, you can take the following steps:

    1. Identify Incompatible Drivers: First, check for any drivers that are incompatible with memory integrity. You can do this by selecting "Review incompatible drivers" in the Windows settings.
    2. Update or Remove Drivers: If you find any incompatible drivers, you will need to either update them to a version that is compatible or uninstall them. Memory integrity cannot be enabled until all incompatible drivers are addressed.
    3. Re-enable Memory Integrity: After resolving the incompatible drivers, you can try to turn memory integrity back on. Navigate to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Device security > Core isolation details > Memory integrity and enable it.

    If you encounter difficulties during this process, consider using the Windows Recovery Environment for additional troubleshooting options.

    Hi ,

    When the incompatible driver message appears, it should be showing the oemXX.inf file. Follow the procedure below:

    Memory Integrity Turned Off Due to Incompatible Drivers Fix

    If you want, you can take a screenshot and post it here.

    1. Open Windows Terminal (Admin), and select either Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt.
    2. Copy and paste the command below into Windows Terminal (Admin), and press Enter to see a list of all 3rd party drivers from the driver store.

    dism /online /get-drivers /format:table​

    1. Make note of the Published Name (ex: "oem13.inf") of the driver you want to uninstall.

    4.. Type the command below into Windows Terminal (Admin), and press Enter. (see screenshot below)

    pnputil /delete-driver oem25.inf /uninstall /force
