Microsoft reminds users that Windows 10 drivers may not update properly in some cases

In Windows 10, driver automatic installation and update is a very practical function, users can automatically deploy the required driver after installation without the need for other software.

At the same time, hardware device manufacturers can submit new versions of drivers to Microsoft, and then use the Windows 10 system update feature to deliver new drivers to users.

This feature was originally very useful for most users, but Microsoft reminded users that sometimes driver delivery may not work properly.

Microsoft wrote:

“If you choose to continue using your device without addressing the driver problem, you might discover that the functionality the driver supports does not work any longer, which could have consequences ranging from negligible to severe.”

The hardware device or module depends on the driver. If there is no driver, these hardware devices or modules may not start properly and will naturally not work.

So sometimes users may manually download and install specific drivers, but the built-in memory integrity check in Windows 10 prevents the driver from being deployed.

That is, the user may see that the driver has been installed correctly, but in fact, the driver cannot be called normally and the hardware device is not working properly.

Some users have confirmed this with Microsoft after reporting the problem to Microsoft. Microsoft stated that the problem affects all currently supported branch versions of Windows 10.

Microsoft said that if users encounter such problems, they can choose to turn off the system’s memory integrity check, and then update the driver after the shutdown or install manually.

You can also open the Core isolation page by selecting Start  > Settings  > Update & Security  > Windows Security  > Device Security and then under Core isolation, selecting Core isolation details.
