Core Isolation / Memory Integrity Issues

Anonymous

I'm running the 22623.1325 OS build.

I had to turn off Core Isolation to run a piece og software. The software keeps on causing blue screens due to the windows insider version I run isn't supported and it is suggested that I get a normal windows 11. I cant reinstall windows 11 from a stick due to core isolation being turned off. When I try to turn it back on and windows starts to boot it immideately runs into the the memory managment blue screen error. I have windows 11 already installed so I dont understand why I cant just turn the core isolation back on and instead it runs into a blue screen.

How do I fix that, or can I turn it on in the options, perform the restart and before the blue screen happens just spam boot options and boot it with the already prepared windows 11 installation stick?

kind regards

    Hi Matthias Heier,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I can understand your confusion.

    Memory integrity is designed to protect important core processes in Windows.

    Memory integrity works by creating an isolated environment using hardware virtualization.

    Based on the information you provided, Og software has a real impact on the memory integrity of Windows.

    OG software still exists, incompatible drivers are still in the system and can be scanned.

    Operations on memory integrity imply changes to the virtualization underlay, and any changes to the memory integrity state can create unexpected problems, such as the blue screen you encounter, until the incompatible driver is removed.

    If you want to enable core isolation, we recommend that you remove the incompatible driver first.

    You can refer to the steps below to remove the incompatible driver.

    • Personally, it is recommended to operate in safe mode. Start your PC in safe mode in Windows - Microsoft Support
    • Click Settings >> Privacy & Security >> Windows Security, **** Select Device Security. Select Core isolation details.Check if there is a "View incompatible drivers" option.
    • If so, click to view details and expand incompatible drivers to get the Published name.
    • When you get the Published name for incompatible drivers. Please following the steps below.
    1. Type Device Manager, find and run it.
    2. Click View tab, change to Devices by driver.
    3. Find the corresponding driver according to the Published name and delete it.

    If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

    Best Regards,
