Windows 11 Memory Integrity Incompatible Drivers

[Sparky862]

Okay I have a weird one. I have incompatible drivers according to my Memory Integrity Check in Windows 11. But I don't have these drivers installed anymore. Their oem.inf just reside in System 32 folder and gets picked up. Some say bus Drivers but it is from EtronHub...no where under my Device Manager do I get ANY drivers or USBs that is installed on EtronHub. My PC doesn't even pick anything EtronHub up when you search for it.

 

So I can only assume these are old Drivers I had before, uninstalled and the files remained?? Can I just safetly delete them from my System 32 Folder?

 

There is a app called "autoruns" which detects and scans your PC for all drivers. I can not even find ANY of these "incompatible drivers" inside that App.

In Device Manager try 'show hidden devices' to see if they are listed, then try to uninstall & remove software if the option is presented, otherwise you could try RAPR (DriverStoreExplorer) which allows you to remove drivers from Windows driver repository, run it as Admin to avoid any permissions issues. Be careful with the app, it is very powerful, hopefully one of these methods will allow you to remove the problem drivers.

Autoruns is useful for showing & disabling drivers, tasks temporarily for troubleshooting purposes, if you right-click on an entry and choose 'jump to entry' it will take you to the task or registry entry for the driver and you can delete the reference there or to the containing folder so you can delete the file, but this is not the ideal method for removal, again run as Admin to avoid issues.

+1 for RAPR, should allow you to delete the driver in question. If it says it's in use there's another app called GhostBuster that allows removing devices that are no longer present but Windows still keeps track of (and are as such still "using" the driver).
