Microsoft to Roll Out Memory Integrity Security Feature in Windows 11 Despite Gaming Performance Impact
Source Summary
Microsoft will begin enabling memory integrity protection on eligible Windows 11 devices through quality updates next month. The kernel-level security feature blocks malicious code and drivers but can reduce gaming performance. The rollout will also enable Virtualization-based Security (VBS) on affected devices.
Why it matters
The rollout enforces stronger kernel-level security across Windows 11 but creates a trade-off where users may experience reduced gaming performance on their systems.
