Anyone upgraded to Windows 11 and tried the Roland ASIO driver for VG-99 as well as the Library and Editor apps? Do they work without driver signature errors?

Roland recommend avoid upgrade to Win11

Also Roland has not listed the VG-99 on the task list for creating Win11 USB driver, since its been discontinued 10 years ago.

COMPATIBILITY WITH WINDOWS 11

Compatibility with Windows 11 will be verified and announced after the release of Windows 11.
If you are using a Roland product with a connection to a Windows PC, we recommend that you stay with Windows 10 until the results of our verification process are published.

Roland UM-One in TABLET Mode = good
Roland UM-One in COMP Mode   = good
VG-99 in advanced driver mode = good audio and midi
VG-99 Editor on Windows 11 = good although looks very small on a high resolution monitor.

All devices were auto installed.

And it actually works, which is a bonus.

I just got a Windows 11 machine and successfully made VG99 driver works for Windows 11, these are the steps:

You probably know how the VG99 driver work for Win10 - - since around 2017 VG99's Windows 10 driver will be installed automatically from internet the first time you turn it on with USB cable connected. But that is not the case for Win11. The driver will still be installed from internet, but an error message pops up and saying the driver cannot be loaded due to a "memory security" setting.

That "memory security setting" is called "Memory Integrity" and this is where to find it:

Settings – Privacy & Security – Open Windows Security – Device Security – Core Isolation, then click "Core Isolation Details"

You will see "Memory Integrity" is on, if you can turn it off, reboot, then the VG99 driver installed automatically from internet will work. But that is not the case again, Win11 appears to have a bug and the "Memory Integrity" toggle is grayed-out and saying this setting is managed by your administrator (my account is the administrator).

This Youtube video shows you how to resolve this bug:



In short, the resolution in video is -- go to Registry Editor and switch off the "Memory Integrity":

In Registry Editor go to:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard\Scenarios\HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity

Then double-click the "Enabled" and change the value from 1 to 0, then reboot. The "Memory Integrity" toggle is turned off and VG99 driver is working.

Just curious, my VM version of Win 11 running in Parallels on M1/ARM there is no "....DeviceGuard\Scenarios\HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity" entry. Therefore, no memory integrity settings available.

Haven't been able to find a way to get the VG-99 to connect to it properly. Thoughts?
