i recently downloaded an update and keep getting the error message that a security setting is detecting cpuz136_x64.sys as a vulnerable driver and is blocking it from loading.   I have been having issues getting on some websites but not sure if this is related.  Appreciate if anyone has found a solution to determine how to stop the error from loading and is it critical for the operation of my laptop.  Thank you.

Hi @Kay_Marz 

 

You have installed the CPU-Z program, it has nothing to do with a windows configuration, it fails because it may be corrupted, uninstall the program, it is not necessary to have this program always installed on the computer. It may also be that you have installed a CPU-Z program already infected with a virus.
