Anyone tested this good old USB device in newer Windows 11 Pro?
Which drivers must be installed? The same as in Win10 or anyone else? Thanks.

As suspected, I tried to install the latest drivers 2.0.0.6 in my new Windows 11 Pro computer but it does not work.
The driver package seems correctly installed, I see it in the installed app list, but as soon as I connect the USB cable from the TBS... Windows tells me "Unable to load any driver".
Also, my device is shown in the Windows Device list under Audio, video and games, but in the Properties tab I see again that no drivers can be loaded.
Tried to change USB cable and to connect different ports but nothing.
I really hope that I must not to trash this device.... yes it is old, but it is very useful for blind scan and similar operations.
Please help.

Solved. But I'm not sure this is the best solution.
Reading carefully Windows error message, it referred to a security problem that blocked the TBS driver. And the Troubleshooting button linked me to a Microsoft web page in which they suggested to disable Memory integrity under Core isolation, but warned about possible security problems.
I tried this, rebooted, and suddenly the driver was loaded and my TBS5925 perfectly works now.
What do you think? Is Memory integrity so important for Windows security? Obviously I have a good antivirus in my computer, but I don't know. Anyway, it seems the only way to have a working TBS device here.... Any idea? Thanks.

On my Windows 10 PC, I tried to turn Memory integrity ON, but didn't allow me to, exactly because of the installed TBS drivers.
Indeed what you did seems to be the only solution. It is default ON in Windows 11, and OFF in Windows 10.
I don't know if having Memory integrity off is a big issue, sure never heard of it yet!

Good point! So, is TBS the only manufacturer requiring to turn off Memory integrity?
I did not heard about it too, and I always used TBS5925 in my old Windows 10 computer.
So I thought the problem was Win11, maybe not good for such old drivers, but it is not.
