Windows 10: Updated Windows 11 Pro - Now wdcsam64.sys Cannot Load

I don't even know what wdcsam64.sys is for. Now I find myself scouring the internet to fix the problem Windows created. This is why people use Apple macOS

:)

 

Issues installing WE_SES_Driver, wdcsam64.sys

I tried running the setup file as an admin, tried to delete it in the file explorer and via the command line but it would not delete due to my permissions. So I changed the permissions and that did not work either. I get the error "A driver cannot load on this device. Driver: wdcsam64.sys A security setting is preventing this driver from loading. You'll need to adjust your settings to load this driver." I am running Windows 11 22H2.

 

undate or delete wdcsam64.sys

I'm running Windows 11. I tried to use my Western Digital external backup drive, and in the process, I turned off the memory integrity toggle under Core Isolation.

I've checked for updates and I can scan and delete all but one instance of the driver (wdcsam64.sys) but I can't turn this core isolation setting on. How important is this setting?

thanks

Wdcsam64.sys driver preventing me from turning on memory integrity

That solution doesn't seem to work with Windows 11. When I check 'Device Manager' in Windows 11, 'Wdcsam64.sys' doesn't show. Can I locate it elsewhere?
