Windows 11 has arrived, and too much fanfare. Security experts believe Windows 11 offers top-of-the-line user protection. That’s great, of course, unless your a gamer. Because apparently all this added security beef drastically reduces gaming performance.
We often discuss ways to improve your porn game experiences. One of the top ways starts at home by using optimal, efficient, modern devices.
This week, UL Benchmarks says that Microsoft’s virtualization-based Security (VBS) reduces gaming performance by nearly 30%. These virtualization-based security features are the cornerstone of Windows 11.
UL Benchmarks used “Tomb Raider: Shadow” as the testing game to rate Windows 11 performance.
So let’s get techy (this is where I pretend I understand complex operating system technological implementations).
One Microsoft VBS function detaches memory into a safe memory section. This pushes a memory space off the main operating system. When this security function is active, the machine is insulated from a variety of hacker attacks. This security function reportedly creates lag during game play.
VBS takes a major toll on the CPU of the machine. These negative results seem to be tied to specific OEM build HP and Dell machines shipped with Windows 11. Boy, that’s a lot to digest, isn’t it?
You can disable VBS, but if you’re running Windows 11 on a virtual machine, you are discouraged from disabling the VBS.
How To Disable Windows 11 VBS To Improve Gaming Performance
- Click SEARCH from the task bar.
- Type core isolation and click the system settings.
- Turn off Memory Integrity
- Restart your machine
- Once back up, press Windows Key + R. This will begin the Run function. Hit ENTER.
- Follow this: Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Device Guard
- Double-click Turn on Virtualization Based Security.
- Hit Disabled, click OK.
- Click Search from task bar. Search for Windows Features. Select Turn Windows Features On or Off.
- Uncheck all of these: Windows Hypervisor Platform, Virtual Machine Platform, and Microsoft Defender Application Guard.
- Restart machine.
- Click Search from Task Bar. Search CMD. Click Run as administrator.
- Type this command and Run it. bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
- Now you need to go into BIOS. This is accomplished by pressing down on the Function key, or Del key (this depends on the machine) just before the machine restarts.
- Go to Advanced.
- Change Intel Virtualization Technology to Disabled.
- Save. Exit.
- I don’t know about you, but I’m worn out now.
Beyond gamers, there are folks who simply don’t appreciate the new Windows 11. Though many people believe 11 is a step up from Windows 10.
Truth be told, I use pretty Macs. So there’s that.
