Incompatible drivers:

 

Resolving incompatibilities with these drivers will enable you to turn on Memory Integrity

 

"igdkmd64.sys"

Intel Corporation

 

"igdkmd64.sys"

....... This system is fairly new to me and was only operating with Legacy BIOS and could not find a bootable drive if a UEFI mode, or UEFI with secure boot was attempted. This turns out to be because whoever upgraded the machine from Windows 8 or 8.1 to Windows 10, installed from Legacy mode, therefore when booting with UEFI the system found no device to boot, as the OS a MBR Legacy OS .... A few days ago I fixed the issue, and now I use UEFI bios and clean installed a new Windows 10 Pro O/S. 

 

My goal in accomplishing that was to be able to utilize at LEAST Secure Boot, Core Isolation/Memory Integrity to improve device security as best I could since my processor won't be going to Windows 11 and neither with my TPM 1.2. But hey, I'm happy with that!

 

I felt very vulnerable and am now much happier, I guess, but..... after my conversion, these 2 Intel instances are holding me back now and I don't know how to resolve it yet.

 

Then I began loading some of my favorite tools and Security Task Manager ranked 6 out of the top 7 security risks as Intel graphics type items (that we all know and use) .....and a little peek inside the Properties shows Expired Certificates on all 6 of them from 2018 and 2019. That's a little unacceptable to me that Intel's stuff is outdated...

 

I find this to be completely unacceptable coming from Intel as the elevated provider that they are, to be wearing outdated certificates LOL.....

 

and then it was only a short HOP from those 6 items ----  back over to my Intel drivers at Core Isolation where Memory Integrity seems to also think Intel needs to step up their game if they want to play with Windows........ LOL

 

incompatible drivers.....(which  i have assumed to be graphics related as well.... ? i haven't ran these down to fix them yet....

 

So who is responsible for updating the certificates for such items? Am I, the average Jane Windows user supposed to learn how to manage my own certificates? Or is someone else falling asleep at the wheel?

Assuming the system came with 8 or 8.1 it is 10 years old. How long should a hardware manufacturer be required to update drivers?

 

I suggest you do a clean install of 10 with secure boot and UEFI intact. At least you would have that layer of security.

 

Don't forget 10's end of updates in Oct 2025.

The 1st thing you do after installing Windows is install your Chipset Drivers and then SATA Drivers from your Motherboard Support Page or your Branded System Support Page.   If you have not done this please do so.

 

Is this what you call a Security Task Manager : https://pcmanager.microsoft.com/en-us if not we have no idea what your talking about.

 

You say 2 drivers but what you show is the same driver 2x's.

Where did you get the 2 drivers as you do not tell us.

Download and install Speccy - https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy
