The most common reason is that Memory Integrity is stopping drivers that do not meet the latest security rules. Other reasons might include changes to driver signatures or new, stricter security rules added after a Windows update. Now that you know the causes, let’s move to the solutions.
1. Disable Memory Integrity
The Memory Integrity feature in Windows, also known as Hypervisor-protected Code Integrity (HVCI), is designed to prevent malware from taking control of your computer through low-level drivers. Although this is an effective security measure, it relies on both compatible hardware and supported hardware drivers. This makes Memory Integrity less suitable for many personal devices, as it is primarily intended for enterprise environments. With this feature enabled, some personal software or drivers may not function correctly. After disabling the feature, close the Settings app.
2. Uninstall the KB4023057 Update
This problem often starts after installing the KB4023057 update on Windows 11. If you prefer not to disable the Memory Integrity feature, uninstalling this specific update may resolve the issue.
3. Update the Driver
This error is often caused by an outdated or incompatible driver. Updating the problematic driver to the latest version can resolve the issue. Driver updates are available through the Windows Settings app, and you can also use Device Manager if necessary. If you cannot update the driver through Windows Settings, here is how to update it using Device Manager:
4. Uninstall the Driver
If no driver updates are available or if the driver is no longer supported, uninstalling it may help. Proceed with this method only if the driver is non-essential, and you can find a suitable alternative if needed. For example, if you are using the Intel® PROSet or Intel® Advanced Network Services (Intel® ANS) driver, uninstalling this driver can fix the error, as it is no longer supported on Windows 11.
