Fix memory integrity issues. Enable memory integrity. A driver is faulty causing me to be unable to enable memory integrity.

VBoxDrv.sys from Oracle corporation (Oracle VM VirtualBox 6.1.26.45957) is faulty preventing me from enabling memory integrity. Help me to troubleshoot incompatible drivers like VBoxDrv.sys here. I need to uninstall incompatible drivers like VBoxDrv.sys.

Hii ,

In the case of an incompatible driver, do you have oem.inf reported?

If so, follow the procedure below:

  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​

  1. Make note of the Published Name (ex: "oem13.inf") of the driver you want to uninstall.
  2. Type the command below into Windows Terminal (Admin), and press Enter.

pnputil /delete-driver oem25.inf /uninstall /force

You can remove the drivers that are showing as incompatible and restart and try to activate core isolation.

If you don't have it, you'll do the following: uninstall VirtualBox with Revo Uninstaller and delete all files and registry entries.

After removing it, do this: open the command prompt (admin) and run the commands: sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, wait for the process to finish and restart the computer.

Activate memory integrity. If you still get the error about this incompatible driver, download autorun from the link below, extract the x64 version and run it as administrator.

Go to the drivers tab and find the VBoxDrv.sys driver, right-click and delete it.

Restart the PC and try activating it again. After activating it, restart again and now you can reinstall
VirtualBox.

Give feedback if the information was useful or not.

Thanks
