Where can I find an updated driver for Mslo64.sys?

Jim_Maryland · October 2022

Hi, new Microcenter customer here so hopefully asking in the right place.

I have Windows 11 running on a G901 desktop system. Turned on Windows Memory Integrity, and get a Program Compatibility Assistant popup (actually 7 of them) stating "A driver cannot load on this device". The driver is listed as "Mslo64.sys". The warning says "A security setting is detecting this as a vulnerable driver and blocking it from loading. You'll need to adjust your system settings to load this driver".

The driver appears to be related to the system lighting, and in my system it looks to be part of the GALAX GAMER RGB application I'm at version 1.00.02.

Visiting the Galaxy Microsystems Ltd (galax.com) site, do see GALAX Aurora Sync as a possible candidate, but as it isn't bundled as GALAX GAMER RGB, didn't want to try that yet.

I did try the PowerSpec Driver Search, but no results back for G901.

While this driver doesn't seem critical to system function/stability, would like to know if an update is currently available (and a link). If no current update, are we expecting a driver to be released soon?

This is a component of the AURA RGB software included with your system. There are a few ways you can resolve this.

Download this updated AURA that will pass code integrity checks: http://powerspec.com/support/files/ASUS_X570_RGB.zip

Manually uninstall the Galaxy portion of the software, it's not utilized.

You can uninstall AURA and use Armory Crate instead: https://rog.asus.com/us/armoury-crate/

I apologize for the inconvenience. We push out driver and BIOS updates via Windows Update, but the RGB software doesn't allow that option at this time. We are working on that.

Thanks for the prompt response. Will check those out. The powerspec.com site is flagging for non-secure (http vs. https), so will likely go the asus.com route.

As I mentioned you can also remove the faulty component. Check your add/remove programs. For that driver, it's most likely the Patriot Viper RGB software installed with the AURA installation. This can be uninstalled individually and will not effect the functionality of AURA. The version I linked has this component removed.

Armoury crate is also an fine to use. Keep in mind Armoury Crate offers driver and BIOS updates for the ASUS TUF Gaming X570 PLUS WIFI. I wouldn't recommend updating the BIOS unless you're addressing a specific known issue.

Do we have any updated info on this situation? After this last Windows update, this issue has plagued my rig. I attempted to uninstall the Patriot Viper RGB, but it did not solve the issue. The provided link to PowerSpec support gets an Error 404 page.

It's a signing issue with the older version of armoury crate, doesn't meet requirements for Core Isolation/Memory Integrity. You can disable it but better to uninstall and update it.
