That msg relates to gigabyte utilities. My guess (and it is only a guess) is that the driver and or installer is/are not MS "approved" Gigabyte boards will want to install their utilities on the first reboot after the install is done.
I would uninstall ALL gigabyte software and see if you still get the message. For this reason AND the hot swap option being almost impossible to find in the bios, I seldom use gigabyte boards in builds.

Use revo uninstaller to remove the gigabyte software. Make sure to do the scan after the uninstall. Revo is one utility every PC should have installed. It does a MUCH better job of uninstalling software.

 

Download the intel support and check and install what drivers your computer needs

 

Thank you both for your input.

@crjdriver - I've not taken the action you advised because I don't feel confident in carrying this out. I already have RevoUninstall on my machine but as there were so many Gigabyte drives, I wasn't sure which ones to remove to be honest.

@texasbullet - I've downloaded the intel support link and have got a report. I don't know the best way to send it to you but I've done it as a Word document which is attached but if this is not right, please advise.
The problem is still there so could you advise me further please. Maybe after looking at the report it may give you some more insight but I'm not sure of the next move I must make.

Just check if there are any updates to be installed in your computer. If it does not show any updates then everything shall be fine.

 

If you are unsure, you can make an image of the system drive. Store the image on an external, NAS, second harddisk, whatever. If you mess up, it takes all of 5min or so to restore the image and you are right back where you started. There are a number of imaging programs however IF you have a WD drive, you are able to download the proprietary version of acronis from the WD site.

FWIW acronis is the ONLY imaging program I use.

 

Here is some info relevant to this thread.

"iqvw64e is a software component of Intel Network Adapter Diagnostic Driver. In the Microsoft support website, they suggest disabling this security feature. If this function is enabled, it may cause many personal software to fail to run properly. As an individual user, you do not need to enable memory integrity."

Redirecting

The gdrv.sys file is a driver file for GIGABYTE motherboards and graphics cards, and if you see the message “Unable to load driver gdrv.sys”, it means that the program is not supported on Windows 11 24H2; it cannot pass the kernel quarantine of Windows Defender.

As a Gigabyte motherboard user for over 25 years, I can personally say that you don't need the Gigabyte "Utilities." Everything it does can be done via the BIOS or other, better, third-party apps. It's old, clunky software that's years out of date. Simply uninstall them. All you need are the chipset drivers and the drivers for other specific things you might need like WiFi, Ethernet, BlueTooth, and RGB if you use it.

I would have to disagree with this as Memory Integrity prevents any malicious attacks on drivers that will render your computer inoperable, or at the very least become a bot for attacks.

Basically, all these errors are showing is that you need to get updated software and/or drivers. I have had to deal with customers with a specific Logitech camera that seems still using drivers made in the 2010s. Since Logitech does not have any drivers, we ended up using compatible Microsoft drivers.

 

The OP has an older motherboard, circa 2017. It likely needs a BIOS flash. The latest chipset driver also needs to be installed.

OK - That seems good to me. What is our next move. BTW I have disabled the Intel Network Adapter Diagnostic Driver as you advised. On rebooting the PC the warning (iqvw64e) did not appear.

 

In Command Prompt, can you please type the following command:

wmic bios get smbiosbiosversion

This will output the BIOS version.

 

F4 is the answer

 

You should update to the latest version F15 as noted on the bios download page for your board:

You should also look to see if there are any updates for the video card too even if you are using a different video card. They have drivers that show Windows 11, which is the last driver they have from 2021. That should help with those messages.

 

If you are going to update the bios, be sure you read and FULLY understand the flashing procedure. Your board has the dual bios so it is pretty much idiot proof however do read the instructions.
The ONLY way I ever update a bios on a gigabyte board is by using Q-flash which is a utility built into the bios. IMO using a windows based flashing utility is just asking for a problem.
