: If the driver won't load on Windows 10/11, restart in Advanced Startup mode and choose "Disable driver signature enforcement." Manual Removal (If crashing persists) If you can't boot into Windows normally: Boot into Safe Mode . Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ . Find jaksta_va.sys and rename it to jaksta_va.sys.old .

Typical installation and files
The legitimate file should be located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers . If it is found in a temporary folder or a random user directory, it is likely malicious.
: Windows Security may block the driver because it does not meet modern memory integrity standards. This often prevents users from turning on Core Isolation in Windows 10 and 11.
I found a driver file on my system called jaksta.sys (and maybe jaksta va.sys – I see jakstaVA.sys in System32\drivers). I think this came from Jaksta Media Recorder or Jaksta Streaming Audio Recorder.
