What would be the best way to remove old drivers on a Powerspec G510?

Saens

I've got the driver compatibility message box at start-up about old drivers like ene.sys and MsIo64.sys. According to this other post (https://community.microcenter.com/discussion/12010/where-can-i-find-an-updated-driver-for-mslo64-sys), the drivers were related to Aura and RGB software. I don't use the color settings at all, so I tried uninstalling that software, but the drivers remain. What would be the best way to remove/disable the drivers so I'll stop seeing the incompatibility message window?

You can delete ENE and you can delete autoruns. Thought it's a useful tool from Microsoft. I use autoruns and process explorer quite a bit.

@Saens

Sounds like you updated and memory integrity/core isolation auto enabled. Those drives are most likely related to the preinstalled AURA software. Uninstall that and install the latest version of Armoury Crate.

Saens

I don't want Armoury Crate. I don't use the lighting settings at all, and none of the other features sound like it's worth downloading.

In that case, you can just uninstall Aura. There going to be a Patriot RAM RGB package that's part of it you want to install. It'll be visible under installed apps.

Like I said in the original post, I already tried uninstalling both Aura and Patriot RGB. I still get the driver compatibility pop-up.

Must have left something with the ENE bundle. Let me load that image up Monday and I'll see what it's specifically attached to.

I uninstalled the following.

Aura

Aura Service

Galaxy Gamer RGB

Patriot Viper RGB

I had no pop ups after that. If you still are please run autoruns and screenshot what's running on your system: https://download.sysinternals.com/files/Autoruns.zip

Edit: I got the pop up from ENE a while later, that driver is still running. I ran autoruns as administrator and unchecked the following under drivers:

enelo

GLCKIO2

MSIO ( this one was already gone, but the reference remained.

Saens

I already uninstalled those 4 programs before making the original post.

I tried running autoruns as admin, but eneIo didn't appear under drivers. I tried using the quick filter option to find it, but got no results either.

@Saens

That's related to the ENE Technology package, must of been uninstalled. Are you still getting any pop ups at startup now?

Saens

I still get the ene.sys message, but if I rename it to something else it seems like the rest are gone.

@Saens

Could be loading as a service, but renaming it works. The path is C:\Program Files (X86)\ENE I believe.

Saens

Can I just delete the program files ENE folder? Also, do I need to keep autoruns to prevent the other drivers from attempting to run, or can I delete it now?

Saens

Okay, thanks. I'll keep autoruns in mind and redownload it as needed.
