    Windows 10 - Memory Integrity - Incompatible Drivers

    Good day all,

    Please could someone advise how I might identify and safely remove/disable/update the following incompatible drivers, so that memory integrity can be re-enabled.

    The incompatible drivers are as follows;
    - ftdibus.sys
    - wdcsam64_prewin8.sys
    - PxHIpa64.sys
    - SaiH0C2D.sys
    - tib.sys

    Autoruns lists nearly all of these files however I have not used this utility before, so thought it's best I ask first.

    Any and all suggestions are very much appreciated!

    Windows Ver.: Windows 10 20H2 Build 19042.870

    Many thanks,
    Koray

  3. Unable to remove a printer gone in "Unspecified" group

    An outdated, or incompatible printer driver could be causing the issue. We suggest that you update your printer driver, or
    uninstall the printer driver; then, restart the computer, and have Windows install the latest driver automatically. Check the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + R.
    • Type devmgmt.msc and press enter.
    • Locate the printer driver and uninstall it.
    • Restart the computer.

    Keep us posted.

    Unable to remove incompatible driver

    incompatible drivers

    Hi kspak,

    The drivers listed must be in the C:\Windows\System folder, usually in the Driver folder, that is where Windows would have read those drivers from when they were listed as incompatible with that function, I cannot understand how those drivers are not in that folder.
