Hi, I'm Bernard, a fellow Windows user. I'm happy to help!

This issue occurs when an incompatible driver is installed on the PC. In this case, kindly follow the steps below:

Method 1. Refresh or Reinstall Windows Defender:

Open the registry, then go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender

Then delete the Windows Defender folder

Next, go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard\Scenarios\HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity

Change the value of “Enabled” to 1

Restart the PC and check.

Method 2. If you see incompatible drivers in Memory Integrity, run the DISM Command and uninstall the incompatible drivers (Please see the image below)

Press the Windows key + X, then click Terminal(Admin) or Windows PowerShell(Admin)

If you cannot see the Published name, run this command:

dism /online /get-drivers /format:table

and uninstall using the command below:

pnputil /delete-driver oem5.inf /uninstall /force

Note: This is just an example command wherein the incompatible published name driver is “oem5.inf”, replace it depending on your incompatible driver.
