How to disable VBS/HVCI to increase Performance in Windows 11

---

NFO:

Virtualization-based security allows Windows 11 to create a Secure Memory Enclave that's isolated from unsafe Code. Another built-in feature called Hypervisor-Enforced Code Integrity (HVCI) uses the capabilities of VBS to prevent unsigned or questionable Drivers and Software from getting into Memory. VBS and HVCI have a significant Performance Cost, particularly when it comes to gaming. As much as ~5% slower with these Settings on.

Check VBS/HVCI Status:

1. Open System Information
2. Scroll down to find the Virtualization-based security. If it says Running VBS is enabled.

Disable VBS/HVCI:

1. Search for Core isolation in Windows Search and click the top Result
2. Toggle Memory integrity to Off
3. Reboot your PC as prompted
4. Check System Information again to see if Virtualization-based security is listed as Not enabled If so, you are done

Disable VBS/HVCI via Registry Editor:

1. Open Registry Editor
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard
3. Double-click EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity and set it to 0 and click OK
4. Close Registry Editor and reboot your PC
