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?

    None of the posted workarounds resolved the Wdcsam64.sys conflict that prevented my Windows 11 system from turning on memory integrity.

    Then I found a search result to install WD Discovery for Windows from this URL:

    https://downloads.wdc.com/wdapp/Install_WD_Discovery_for_Windows.zip

    After a couple of reboots I was able to enable Core Isolation features, and the the warning flag in the system tray went away.

    As an added bonus, my USB drives now respond much more quickly when I attach or right-click to eject them.

    f you microsoft. normal people don't understand this nonsense or recommended solutions which involve tinkering with registry or system files. Everytime you push out a "windows update" **** like this happens.

    Just popping in here to inform anyone who has this issue that you don't need to go through a bunch of scary/potentially risky steps to resolve this issue. Just follow these instructions from WD's official site.

    I came to this thread several weeks ago after updating to Win 11 and was hesitant to follow any of the advice here because I aggressively avoid going into the command prompt to do anything. After a couple weeks of ignoring the security alert, I finally got around to searching for an official solution from Microsoft or Western Digital. On the WD forums, I found a link that led me to the one I shared above and it doesn't require any command prompt or admin privileges.

    I have an old Passport and mine still works just fine after following these steps. Hope this helps! <3
