Question Can't enable Core Isolation ?

[miha2]

Hi, I can't enable the core isolation. It says there are 2 drivers that prevent me from enabling it. The first one is wdcsam64_prewin8.sys, driver version 1.2.0.0 and it has the published name. Says import date 2/20/2022, but I got the 2nd hard Western Digital hard drive... I think like 4 years ago.

I don't think it's one of my hard drives currently connected, but what will happen if I delete the driver using pnputil? Will my hard drives (I have 2 of them) keep working? That is, will I still have access to them? Or I will need to open the device manager and that will reinstall the driver? Or all the data will be gone? Or how is it done?

The 2nd is xhunter1.sys and that one driver version 3.4.2.151 and product name XIGNCODE3.

Is it safe to uninstall both of these? I'm not sure what that xhunter1.sys is, it says it's Wellbia.com Co., Ltd. Probably the developer.

So, if I understand correctly, this is how I should run it (please correct me if I'm wrong):

pnputil.exe /delete-driver oem##.inf

and then try /force if it won't uninstall

wdcsam64_prewin8.sys,

This is an old driver that ships with both Windows 10 and Windows 11 and very few people need it.

I would use autoruns to remove them if they show up in it - run as admin - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

according to here: https://www.hanselman.com/blog/how-to-turn-on-memory-integrity-and-core-isolation-in-windows-10
the command should be:
pnputil /delete-driver <example.inf> /uninstall
