TLDR Long winded post. Re: Uninstalling HX Edit & Stomp Drivers from a New Windows 11 Laptop and Reenabling Memory Integrity.
 
DISCLAIMER, not responsible for anyone messing up their computers. The following is exactly what I did to thoroughly remove Line 6 Edit and Drivers from a brand new Win11 Laptop. Your results may vary. Sharing only because I could not find a solution online or in the forum
 
I am sure many folks here have discovered that in order to install the latest HX Edit and necessary drivers, you have to disable Core Isolation Memory Integrity. And many of us went ahead and disabled it.
 
And I am sure there are few who installed it and then decided to uninstall but could not reenable Memory Integrity after "Uninstalling" Line 6 Edit and the Driver Packages. If you fall in this camp, read on...
 
First of all, love the Line 6 stuff but was a little worried about this potential security issue. I am sure in good time Line 6 will fix but until then I decided to uninstall the Line 6 stuff of my freshly minted Windows 11 Laptop and keep the Edit software on an Older desktop for Firmware updates...but...
 
When I uninstalled the applications, Windows found a remaining sys file preventing me from enabling Memory Integrity. And furthermore left a HxStomp Control item in my Control Panel.
 
The Fix:
After using all the L6 uninstallers, Go to your windows/system32 folder and locate the following and delete.
 
L6Driver2HXStompControlPanel. cpl (this removes the Control Panel Item for HX Stomp)
l6HXStomp. sys
l6HXStomp_AvsFilter. sys (removing these will let you enable the Memory Integrity in Core Isolation)
 
The Cleanup: Using CCleaner App (Free download)
Run the Registry Cleaner,
Review and Uncheck all the issues found except ones containing "Line 6" in its description.
Select Fix Issues.
 
Reenable Memory Integrity :)

Just installed HXEdit 3.62, but had a different problem (Helix ASIO driver not showing up in Cubase). Tried to uninstall, but the uninstaller just starts HXEdit does no uninstalling - anyone have the same problem?

I'm having this issue right now
