Driver Initialization Error 1

This issue is usually caused by one or more of the following:

  • Exploit Protection is turned on

  • Windows Defender or Kernel Isolation is enabled

  • Anti-cheat software like FACEIT or Valorant is installed

  • Control Flow Guard (CFG) is enabled

  • Other antivirus programs are running

If disabling those doesn’t help, try pressing “Get Support,” then select option 1, followed by option 2.
