[Technology] Windows 11 Memory Integrity and Incompatible Drivers?

[Gilliver's Travels]

Bit nerdy this one. My Windows 11 Device Security report currently shows Memory Integrity turned off – citing 4 incompatible drivers: 3 relating to Logitech, and one WIDCOMM.
The only way to restore Memory Integrity is apparently to remove or update all 4 drivers.
Attempts using Device Manager to update the drivers haven’t worked. So I’m stuck with a potentially serious security issue.

Malwarebytes and Microsoft Defender are currently returning 100% clean scans, so maybe things can safely be left as they are?

Anyone else experienced and fixed this? Advice would be very welcome!

Window 11 eh?

Always keep away from any new O/S for 2 years aka "the bleeding edge" - that gives them [Micro$oft] time to sort their issues out.
I'd suggest a Win 10 reinstall - you'll likely have a digital license so no issues doing this [rem to backup all your files first]

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Unless you visit some dodgy sites such as illegal streams or porn then trust defender and mwbytes - nowt to worry about - just keep both those elements up to date.

The IT experts we use always say swerve a new Windows version for at least a year.

Instant ban please!

Swerve any update for at least a year unless it's a security patch - that goes for Windows, IOS or Android.

Having refreshed a Microsoft Surface with Linux I'm quite glad to be away from it without falling in with the sheep, sorry "eco system lovers" of Apple or whatever fruit they are referring to themselves these days.

So impressed I went and bought a 2nd surface go (the mini one that runs like a dog) and stuck Linux on that too.

I have another PC which dual boots. I also (unfortunately) have a work Mac but rarely turn it on. Lets face it, in 2024 it resembles an operating system for the elderly....

I didn’t realise that about IOS. We’ve had c.15 years of iPads and iPhone, we always update when prompted, no issues. If anything is less logical than before, Apple seem to realise incredibly swiftly and improve of it in another date soon afterwards.

Thanks for the reassurance! For now, I'll keep things as they are, with Defender & Malwarebytes still returning 100% all-clears.
Still crazy that there's been no updates to the Logitech drivers in 11 years!! And for WIDCOMM, it's 16 years!!
