Another day, another Windows 10 issue. This latest bug comes directly from a newly published Microsoft support page, which warns that some Windows 10 drivers are failing to load, and that using your machine without fixing the issue could have serious consequences.
The support page (discovered by Windows Latest) notes that if you are getting a "driver can't load on this device" warning, it means that your Memory integrity setting is keeping the driver from activating. Microsoft also warns that ignoring this warning "could have consequences ranging from negligible to severe." No big deal.
