Can I uninstall nipcibrd.dll?

Hello
I am using a USB-4065 connected to a Windows 10 PC.
Sometimes the OS won't start.
An "Application Popup" message appears in the Event Viewer log.
This PC is set to turn off at any time, so virtual memory usage is limited.
I contacted the PC manufacturer and was told to disable nipcibrd.dll.
However, when I install the USB-4065 using NIPM, nipcibrd.dll is also registered.

Is there a way to avoid this?
I'm using the 2025-Q3 driver with NIPM.

Thank you in advance.

I am missing context here.

How did you go from an "Application Popup" message in Event Viewer to "disable nipcibrd.dll"? I do not understand how those could have anything to do with one another.

 

Do you have an antivirus flagging that DLL or something similar?

 

This PC is set to turn off at any time, so virtual memory usage is limited.


I do not understand how having the ability to turn off a PC at any time has anything to do with the amount of virtual memory on the system. Are you concerned about page file size, boot time, or similar?

Thank you for your reply.
Apologies for the unclear message.

>I don't understand how those could have done anything differently.

This was the advice given by the PC manufacturer after analyzing this Event Viewer log.

Below is the PC manufacturer's response.

From here
-------------
Information 2025/9/10 16:27 Application Popup 26 None
Application Popup: Windows - Low Virtual Memory: Your system's virtual memory is running low. To ensure Windows operates properly, increase the size of your virtual memory page file. See Help for details.
-------------

We believe this issue only occurs in environments where the National Instruments nipcibrd driver is installed.
As I mentioned last time, this driver seems to continue running even when the NI board is removed, so I think the only solution is to disable the driver directly.

Could you please contact National Instruments to inquire about how to disable the nipcibrd driver?

Up to this point

This issue occurs when Windows, which normally takes one minute to start up, takes more than five minutes to start up.

This occurs about once in 50 attempts.

Thank you for your cooperation.
