Microsoft Enables Windows 11 Security Feature at Cost of Gaming Performance

Microsoft has announced plans to automatically enable a feature in Windows 11 called Memory Integrity as part of its efforts to bolster security on the operating system.

This feature, which helps keep nefarious programs like malware at bay, will be enabled in a future update scheduled for October 13.

However, there are some potential consequences for users who plan to keep it enabled, including the possibility that enabling Memory Integrity reduces gaming performance and disables undervolting software.

The feature restricts kernel-mode execution to trusted code and drivers only, which aims to close off critical attacks on Windows 11 systems.
