Despite Microsoft's boasts that "if you're a gamer, Windows 11 was made for you," you should be on the lookout for prebuilt PCs that come preloaded with the new operating system. ... By default on a new system, Windows 11 will hinder gaming performance.
Why all of a sudden is MICROSOFT really pushing security out of the woodwork? I don't stay up to the min hardware/software but seems like they are really pushing W11 and security aggressively! Are one of the reasons because of old CPU's being compromised from both INTEL and AMD? (mostly INTEL CPU's I notice) Is it due to politics with China or voting issues?
So when AL launches could potentially see skewed results versus those who upgraded from win10 from prebuilt win11.
I'm not sure if every Motherboard BIOS has the option. My -not so new- Gigabyte AX370 Gaming K7 has it though, so I guess it exists in most of the newer models.
You can`t disable Windows feature in BIOS. In BIOS you can configure the CPU and platform features which accelerate virtualisation in Windows.
So what you’re saying is that if you disable virtualization the performance hit will be even worse? That’s quite something.
I'm guessing they decided that changing the setting during upgrading may cause issues, so that's why it's for fresh installs only. It is something to be aware of if as many of us will, you upgrade 1st then later down the line do a fresh install for whatever reason. After the re-install your pc will have vbs enabled by default.
No, no i did a clean install yesterday and its disabled by default. I think its only enabled manually like the tittle said for "enterprise customers".
Buying a legit copy from keystore, downloading it to usb, and installing it on new mobo i could forsee issues.
The feature will be disabled for Windows Security when you disable the virtualization option/options in BIOS, it will even state that standard hardware security isn't supported, best practice is to disable it within Windows Security first though. EDIT: Virtualization is usually disabled pr. default on motherboards and older OEM builds. If you don't need it there is no point in having it enabled either.
No need for BIOS stuff, VBS can be disable from within window. Its in "Windows Security" --> "Device security" --> "Core isolation", Just set Memory integrity to OFF. It's really no big deal and from what I heard, it affect mostly the *old* "unsupported processor"
Thx for clarification, I was wrongly thinking it would start getting enabled by default on any new installation.
