Error with ene.sys: "A driver cannot load on this device."

I need help with this issue that has been bothering me for days now.

I've bought a new laptop (MSI Katana GF76 12UGS) and after installing Windows 11 (laptop came with FreeDos) and the drivers that MSI provides, there's been an error that pops out everytime I turn on my device: "A driver cannot load on this device. Driver: ene.sys" and it's flagged as vulnerable.

I've been reading through internet and its function seems to be for controlling RGB utilities. My laptop doesn't have any, it just steadily luminates the keyboard with a red light that works perfectly.

What should I do? I've contacted MSI and they told me that I needed to reinstall Windows and I wouldn't like the idea since there's a lot of programs and archives already in my laptop, everything works perfectly but that issue.

    The specs for the PC make no mention of "FreeDos"

    ene.sys is not part of win its from a third part app

    Microsoft Defender's Core isolation is blocking the vulnerable driver "ene.sys" from loading.

    Pls check out the recommendations here.

    Renaming the file or disabling the driver using Autoruns should help.
