iTunes breaks mounting of iso's

secondsight said:

Well it does that here as the title says....... It also does something else weird.....

Windows throws an error on a driver that I think iTunes installs called GEARAspiWDM.sys located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers.
It refuses to load it unless you switch off Memory Integrity (which is a little bit silly) in Core Isolation in Windows Security.

Perhaps one of you could try mounting an iso after installing iTunes...... The only thing I installed after that was Native Access by Native Instruments which is how I discovered this.

I'm wondering why I don't see it now as apparently it should be there with iTunes as you have just said.

I'm starting to disbelieve what is out there about it because the file is so old (2014).
