How do I manage memory integrity?
In most cases memory integrity is on by default in Windows 11, and can be turned on for Windows 10.
To turn it on or off:
Select the Start button and type “Core isolation”.
Select the Core Isolation system settings from the search results to open the Windows security app.
On the Core isolation page, you’ll find Memory integrity along with the toggle to turn it on or off.
Important: For safety we recommend having memory integrity turned on.
To use memory integrity, you must have hardware virtualization enabled in your system’s UEFI or BIOS.
What if it says I have an incompatible driver?
If memory integrity fails to turn on it may tell you that you have an incompatible device driver already installed. Check with the manufacturer of the device to see if they have an updated driver available. If they don’t have compatible driver available, you might be able to remove the device or app that uses that incompatible driver.
Note: If you try to install a device with an incompatible driver after turning on memory integrity, you may see the same message. If so, the same advice applies - check with the device manufacturer to see if they have an updated driver you can download, or don’t install that particular device until a compatible driver is available.
