Question

how to determine which driver is incompatible with Windows 11 memory integrity

V D S 0

Memory Integrity won't enable due to incompatible driver(s).

Under Memory Integrity there are no incompatible drivers listed. I went through the entire device manager. It does not identify anything. No yellow or red flags. No disabled devices.

Windows Update shows all drivers are up to date.

Q&A Assist refers to Windows Hardware Lab Kit (HLK). I can find no relevant info on that resource.

Answer 1

It can be difficult to determine which driver is incompatible with Windows 11 memory integrity, especially if there are no visible errors or warnings in Device Manager. One potential solution is to use the Windows Hardware Lab Kit (HLK) to test your drivers for compatibility with memory integrity. The HLK includes a test for memory integrity compatibility that can help identify any issues with your drivers. Additionally, you can try updating your drivers to the latest version or contacting the manufacturer for support. If you are unable to identify the incompatible driver, it may be necessary to leave memory integrity off for the time being.

Try run Windows Update and download and install all updates.

Try visit your device's manufacturer website and install the latest driver updates (if any).

Make sure report this issue using the Feedback Hub app.

I (still) have the same problem as @V D S

Try visit your device's manufacturer website and install the latest driver updates (if any).

This is just absurd. Windows needs to tell users which driver is causing the problem. Non technical users should not be expected to download an SDK level toolkit to try to resolve the problem. Or guess as to which driver is causing the problem.

On my laptop, I have updates coming from both Dell and Intel. They both publish video+network drivers. I need to know which device is causing the problem.

As I noted in this prior post, there have been multiple Feedback comments about this issue.

I again plead for some Microsoft employee to contact MS internal support and please fix this problem.

Can someone contact Marcus R. and find out what KB patch needs to be installed to implement this?

To install driver from the device vendors, normally they have scanner which they will scan your PC and install all missing updates. As for the feedback, I believe it is in the Windows Insider Build and it will be released to the public in the future.

Yes, I use both the Dell and Intel support tools to update firmware and drivers. I also tried using the autoruns tool that another user had suggested.

I will look for the update in the future. Thank you.

Using a device vendor's scanner requires the user to know which device(s) has/have incompatible drivers in order to know the vendor. Memory Integrity scan is not listing any bad drivers. And Windows Updates finds no drivers needing updates.

And what is the Feedback Hub app? When issues are brought up on this forum are they not reported automatically, requiring us forum member to take additional steps?
