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

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.
-
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:
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.
-
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.
-
That's related to the ENE Technology package, must of been uninstalled. Are you still getting any pop ups at startup now?
-
I still get the ene.sys message, but if I rename it to something else it seems like the rest are gone.
-
Could be loading as a service, but renaming it works. The path is C:\Program Files (X86)\ENE I believe.
-
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?
-
Okay, thanks. I'll keep autoruns in mind and redownload it as needed.
