Cannot Enable Memory Integrity

Question

Hello, I’ve had a problem enabling memory integrity. All the bios settings are correct and Force enabling it through regedit causes a boot loop issue where i cannot connect to the network. checking event viewer shows no incompatible drivers and im starting to lose hope. any help will be greatly appreciated please and thank you!

Answer 1

Please try a clean installation of Windows using the Microsoft-supplied ISO.

If that doesn't help, you may contact ASUS for a firmware update or ask in their forums to see if this is a known issue with this PC model.

Answer 2

We can try eliminating 3rd party drivers to see if that helps. Before that, I'd suggest taking a complete registry backup using Acelogix Regbak.

Also, let me know if you were able to reinstall or update the chipset drivers.

Answer 3

The system seems to be crashing at reboot without a BSOD appearing on the screen.

Kernel-Power Event (Event ID 41) with a BugCheck code 0 denotes a bad PSU. This may be due to other hardware issues as well.

I'm not sure if that has to do with the virtualization or Memory Integrity. But you can try a repair installation to see if that fixes the Memory Integrity problem.

Answer 4

From Command Prompt (admin), please run these commands:

md C:\LogFiles

wevtutil.exe epl "Microsoft-Windows-CodeIntegrity/Operational" C:\LogFiles\codeintegrity.evtx

wevtutil.exe epl "System" C:\LogFiles\system.evtx

pnputil /enum-devices /problem /ids >C:\LogFiles\ProbDevices.txt

copy /y C:\Windows\Inf\Setupapi.dev.log C:\LogFiles\

Zip the C:\LogFiles folder and share it on OneDrive or GoFile.io.

Answer 5

Those two problem devices were already there, as reflected in the Farbar logs ("Addition.txt").
