youaremine Having similar problem with Reaktek audio drivers presently. Except I can't seem to take ownership. Even with an elevated file explorer. I'm the only user of this PC and have admin privilege's and it's all grayed out.
rcurci2 Ok you follow these steps
1) go to system32\driverstore\filerepository to find the folder with the naughty drivers.
2) right click to show Security tab
3) click on Edit
4)then select EVERYONE
5) then, in the bottom part of the window, select the checkbox for full control.
6) Now try to delete or move the folder to somewhere else.
7) restart your computer
8)Now run the downloaded Windows 11 ISO setup. (allow it to update and everything)
After this step, the Windows 11 installed smoothly for me!
