Microsoft warned about problems with drivers on Windows 10 and proposed a solution

In Windows 10, as in earlier versions of the OS, it is possible to install and update drivers directly from the system using Windows Update. Often these drivers are enough, but occasionally there is a situation when you need to install the latest driver from the official site.

However , problems are possible in this case . As it turned out, the memory integrity protection system can interfere with the installation of third-party (and at the same time official) drivers. However, there is a solution.

To do this, go to the settings:

• Start> Settings> Update and Security;
• Go to the "Device Security" section;
• In the “Kernel isolation” section, disable the memory integrity protection system;
• To restart a computer.
  After that, you can try installing the driver downloaded from the official site.

Note that Microsoft recently released a new version of Windows 10 Optional updates, which will allow users to select the updates of the really needed drivers , and not install everything in a row.

However, the recent optional update KB4535996 has already brought a bunch of problems and crashes on Windows 10. For example, these are various “freezes”, crashes during startup or slowdowns, and the Sign Tool utility is not working.

The company has not yet proposed a solution, but if you remove KB4535996, then the problems disappear. A small bonus is the fact that after removing a patch, the system will no longer offer it, and will also not install it forcibly.
