Turning on the Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection setting blocks the incompatible drivers from loading. And blocking these drivers might cause unwanted or unexpected behaviors, so this Stack Protection setting is turned off to allow the drivers to load.

If you want to restore the Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection setting, you can resolve a driver incompatibility by checking if any updated and compatible driver is available through the Windows Update or from the driver manufacturer or developer. Microsoft does not recommend that you delete drivers to restore this setting.

Some applications may install a service instead of a driver during the application's installation and install the driver only when the application is launched. For more accurate detection of incompatible drivers, services that are known to be associated with incompatible drivers are also enumerated.
