SOLVED: Core Isolation Memory Integrity Incompatible Drivers WDCSAM64_PREWIN8.SYS

View Comments

• Core isolation was already on for me. To resolve, I uninstalled the driver from device manager, installed WD security and it resolved it for me. Thank you for this post, was the most helpful I found for this issue!

• I tried the directory shortcut and received "Failed to delete driver package: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."

• Bam, just like that, fixed. Super cool, thank you.

• Thank you for this post. This is still a fairly common problem, but your post is the only solution that actually works - even the Microsoft knowledge base was useless on this issue.

  • I have two wdsam.inf drivers, oem0.inf and oem6.inf. I have an internal Western Digital drive and and external one. Any hints about which driver needs to be deleted?

  • Thanks for the kind words Bob... we try :)

    • This problem cleared up after installing the wd discovery app

    • Which driver do you suggest deleting (one is for my C:\ drive, one is for an external USB drive that I still use)? Will I still be able to use the external drive?

    • So...which driver should I delete?

    • JFYI, here's the complete driver info:

      Published Name: oem0.inf
      Original Name: wdcsam.inf
      Provider Name: Western Digital Technologies

• bonjour, soucis idem resolu parfaitement... merci

  hello, problems ditto solved perfectly... Thank you

• Thanks, the above step worked. I had the issue with oem65.inf for Sennheiser Communications.

• I used this method and it worked to get rid of the file. My issue is, I still can't turn on the Memory integrity, due driver incompatibilities. I have restarted my computer and still same issue. When I look to resolve any incompatibilities there are no drivers listed.

  • I have the same issue, where you able to resolve it?

• same result - "one or more devices using the same specified INF". Without oem-number : "the specified file is not installed oem inf."

• I also had the same issue where it was telling me that I could not delete the driver. But if you put a space, then type /force it will delete the driver without issue. Just copy this command and replace the with your specific INF number. pnputil /delete-driver oem.inf

• I had the same message as Don when trying to remove driver oem47.inf in Windows 11 (Western Digital MyBook)

  • Did you run "As administrator"?
