Is Core Isolation responsible for memory integrity?
Hello, in Windows Security under Windows 11, Core isolation for Memory Integrity is disabled. Would it be better to enable it? The reason it's currently off is because of these incompatible drivers: ftdibus.sys FTDI, wdcsam64_prewin8.sys from Western Digital Technologies, and UniFairy.sys.

I checked my system and it’s active. I came across some Reddit discussions suggesting it impacts performance more if your setup is a gaming rig. My machine is primarily for productivity and work, with gaming as the smallest part of its tasks—though it’s an AM5 chipset, so it’s still decent. What kind of system are you using?
On older CPUs like your 9900k, if you play games, it might be wise to keep it off. I'm not sure how or whether it would affect CAD in the same way as games, and depending on the workload it could impact performance and storage speeds too. With newer CPUs, this is less of a concern. If you're using unfamiliar software or just trying something new, it's better to leave it on. I turn it off on my system because I don't feel the need for it. I've lived without it for years, and I don't see a necessity for it in my current tasks. However, we can't really decide for you—leaving it on would reduce security.
I turned it off. If you don’t download unnecessary stuff and browse the web responsibly, there’s no need to keep it active. My PC is meant for gaming and light desktop tasks.
