Windows 10: Memory Integrity and Core Isolation Issue

Windows Security will not allow me to turn on Memory Integrity. It's telling me that the driver RTKVHD64.sys is incompatible, which I'm pretty sure is just a Realtek audio driver. I tried deleting the audio driver to see if it would fix, and it didn't I restarted the pc to get the driver back, so no issues there. It didn't solve my issue, and I'm scared to just go and delete random things, but I also want windows security working fully?? I really don't know what to do.

Core Isolation / Memory Integrity Issues

Hi Matthias Heier,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I can understand your confusion.

Memory integrity is designed to protect important core processes in Windows.

Memory integrity works by creating an isolated environment using hardware virtualization.





Based on the information you provided, Og software has a real impact on the memory integrity of Windows.

OG software still exists, incompatible drivers are still in the system and can be scanned.

Operations on memory integrity imply changes to the virtualization underlay, and any changes to the memory integrity state can create unexpected problems, such as the blue screen you encounter, until the incompatible driver is removed.

If you want to enable core isolation, we recommend that you remove the incompatible driver first.

You can refer to the steps below to remove the incompatible driver.

• Personally, it is recommended to operate in safe mode.
  
  Start your PC in safe mode in Windows - Microsoft Support
  
• Click Settings >> Privacy & Security >> Windows Security, Select Device Security.
  
  Select Core isolation details.Check if there is a "View incompatible drivers" option.
  
• If so, click to view details and expand incompatible drivers to get the Published name.
  
• When you get the Published name for incompatible drivers. Please following the steps below.
  

1. Type Device Manager, find and run it.
   
2. Click View tab, change to Devices by driver.
   
3. Find the corresponding driver according to the Published name and delete it.
   

If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.



Best Regards,

Core Isolation- Memory Integrity

What is Memory Integrity in Core Isolation? Is it helpful to avoid malware, phishing, and ransomware? Is there any Performance drop when Memory Integrity is turned on? What is the percentage of performance drop? Does it affect battery life when memory integrity is turned on? Does it also increases CPU usage?

Please answer all my questions and give another information about Core Isolation- Memory Integrity regarding Battery life, CPU usage, RAM usage, and System stability,
