For the 2nd time, Microsoft Windows 11 Pro has turned off Memory Integrity on one of my laptops. For the 2nd time, it says I have "incompatible drivers". And for the 2nd time, it will not show me or tell me what drivers it doesn't like. I'm sick of it.

Memory Integrity can't be Turned on but no Incompatible Drivers
I am running a pre-boot assessment on my Dell Inspiron 6400. It fails at the same spot all the time, is there any way to fix this?

I have a Dell XPS 13. I randomly decided to open up defender and saw that my memory integrity was off. I've tried every little method I've found on the Internet but couldn't find anything, plus there are NO drivers mentioned by Windows Security despite it saying there is. Am I doomed?
Alright, so, after it failed, I reseated the ram because the location was DIMM A. I’m still getting that error, being 2000-0123. I don’t wanna have to order new ram.
Here’s the test log entry:
Memory - March B Test
Testing 7FAD3000h bytes with 02h CPU(s)
Test Results: Fail
Error code 2000-0123
Msg: Memory integrity test failed.
Address=0_7A598220h, Actual=AAAAAAEAh, Expected=AAAAAAAAh
Location=DIMM_A
I hope this helps. Also it would be nice if you could explain how the march test works.
Hi Christine,
I understand that you are experiencing an issue with the "Memory Integrity Off" warning in Windows 11.
The reason you are receiving this pop-up warning is that Windows 11 turns off memory integrity by default, but you can manually turn it on to improve the security of your system.
Memory integrity is a protection mechanism that prevents malware and attackers from modifying and tampering with the operating system memory. Turning this feature on adds an extra layer of protection to your device, thereby reducing the risk of attack.
Below are the steps to turn on this feature:
Please open Windows 11 "Settings", go to "Privacy and Security" in the lower left corner, select "Open Windows Security Center", and then go to "Privacy and Security". , then go to "Device Security", click on "Kernel Isolation Details" on the right, and finally "Turn on "Memory Integrity". After completing this step, the warning you received should be gone.
I hope the above information is useful to you, please feel free to contact me if there is anything you are not sure about or need help with.
Best Regards,

Thank you, Ian,
That was helpful but it takes me to an error saying I have incompatible drivers.
I have tried using windows update but it didn't find any.
I also use AVG driver Updater.
Is it safe to just leave it off until a new update fixes things?
I am a rookie with Win 11 after just upgrading after a long wait.
