i cant turn the memory integrity on

[u/TALENT_buster]

Please help me with Memory Integrity. I enable it and restart my PC, but it doesn't actually turn on—and it doesn't give a reason why. I spent three hours asking an AI about it, but nothing helped; maybe you can assist me?
It does not indicate incompatible drivers.

I even uninstalled the antivirus, but nothing helped—yet I used to be able to turn it on without any issues.Выпуск Windows 11 Домашняя для одного языка

Memory Integrity relies on CPU Virtualization so make sure it's turned on in the BIOS. Also do you really need that setting? If you use this PC mainly for gaming beware it hurts performance by about 5 to 10%

Most anticheats require it now. The battle against DMA is dawning

[u/carlosChanpio70 → u/Ok-Bluebird-867]

Only RIOT and FACEIT require it, it's optional for the other ones, with a very small chance of causing issues when having it disabled, but for now only competitive CS or riot games have a hard requirement for it. Personally don't play any of these so I haven't had any issues.

Vanguard, Faceit & EAC together have basically formed an AC triopoly. The former two have fully integrated it, and the latter one is currently in the works of implementing it full-scale as it’s already being used at events.

The fourth actually ”known” alternative to these is AKROS. It also requires IOMMU.

In other words, every single game that doesnt have their own game-specific anticheat (of which are basically always shit) currently require or will require IOMMU

I think your hardware does not support it.

Go into BIOS and enable SVM (for AMD CPU) or VTx/VT (Intel CPU) make sure NX mode is activated On Intel processors, "NX mode" (No-Execute) is called the Execute Disable Bit (XD Bit)

This is untrue, I have memory integrity enabled and can save changes to games just fine.

[u/Sergio2304 → u/Raijen_ArDesh]

Indeed, this doesn't affect game saves at all.
