I believe this driver is affiliate with the program "Folder Lock," I am using Core Isolation Memory Integrity in Windows 11 so this driver will not start. No problems using Folder Lock but I haven't figured out how it affects it or if it's even necessary. I am concerned that it is a tool to spy on my locked folders. If you know something please let me know.
   
What i realized is that this is a stubborn system file with no publisher name or anything. I'm pretty sure that this file is related with NewSoftwares.net Inc. (Folder Lock App) and in my case the file (when i checked it's properties) had digital signature of their company so that confirmed my guess more. This WinVDEdrv6.sys file might be harmless but I had to delete it because it compromised my laptop's memory integrity in Core isolation details. It's a hard-to-delete file but there is a way. You can delete this file using this app - "IOBit Unlocker". And then i was able to enable my Memory Integrity toggle. Please understand that i'm just a tech noob, so i might be wrong. Please delete this file on your own discretion.

I contacted the owners of Folder Lock and they have not answered. I sent them three different emails. That is very peculiar. I use Folder Lock to lock certain folders away from spyware.
