Memory integrity can't be turned on on Win11 due to incompatible SNTUSB64.SYS drivers

Solution

Run AutoRuns app (Sysinternals https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns)

Under Drivers, look for 'SNTUSB64.SYS'.

Untick to disable the sntusb64.sys file.

Reboot.

If you need to re-enable, simply reverse the steps.

The SYS file is from 3rd party sofware. You need to get them to update their drivers to be Windows 11 compatible.

Acronis is just as bad with their TIB.SYS file that prevents memory integrity from being turned on (if turned off during Acronis install).

Hi, You have posted the same message TWICE.

Uninstalling and deleting are NOT viable options.

Hi ,

I must inform you that the driver in question and the security system Sentinel Security are used for applications with license validation issues. If you remove this Driver, some software or licensing system may stop working if you use a Security token or something similar, I recommend not removing the Driver.

If you want, remove the Driver

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​

3. 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 <Published Name> /uninstall /force​

Substitute <Published Name> in the command above with the actual Published Name (ex: "oem13.inf") of the driver (NVIDIA) you want to uninstall from step 3.

For example: pnputil /delete-driver oem13.inf /uninstall /force

5. When finished, you can close Windows Terminal (Admin).

In case you don't use any vpn system for this driver.
