Memory Integrity Won't Turn On
I previously posted this on the Windows 11 Microsoft community but after following their advice I activated Windows Insider and downloaded 22H2 as the Microsoft online literature stated it was one of the requirements for Memory Integrity to activate automatically. But it didn't activate automatically. I've cut and paste my post from the other community below: Hi there. I'm using a Medion Akoya Notebook and Windows Security is flagging that Memory Integrity is not turned on and my device maybe vulnerable. I noticed this flag before and went into Windows Security and flicked the tab to 'On'. The system showed it was running a scan for incompatible drivers, didn't seem to find any and then put up a notifcation saying something like 'To enable changes a restart is required'. I hit 'Restart' and my laptop automatically restarted itself. When it finished starting up Memory Integrity appeared to be on as there was no flag on Windows Security. Now maybe a week or so later it appears Memory Integrity has somehow been turned back off again. When I run through the same procedure, as above, after I press 'Restart' my laptop begins the restart process but then hangs on the Medion logo before Windows 11 starts. I don't understand why it keeps going off? I have not altered any settings that I can think of that would have effected this. Could someone help me understand what's happening, why's it happening and how I could get Memory Integrity to stay on. From my System Information I have the following: Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1065G7 CPU @ 1.3GHz , 1498 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s) It has 8GB RAM and well over 64GB of SSD space remaining. Would be glad of any help getting this turned on as I like to have things properly secured where I can. Thanks. **I followed a guide that showed me how to 'Refresh/Reinstall' Windows Defender and Switch the HVEC to 'Enabled' in the Registry. This didn't work. After the required restart my laptop is still hanging on the Medion logo before Windows starts up and I am having to press and hold power to turn off and on again to restart windows, but Memory Integrity remains off** **I read somewhere that Hardware Virtualization needed to be On in the UEFI/Bios. When I tried to open the UEFI (Holding F10 on a Medion Akoya E15407) I first tried entering UEFI, but after selecting English as the language I then got an error message along the lines of "No image, contact customer service". Eventually after repeating and choosing the option below UEFI it entered what looked like a Bios screen and after side scrolling I noticed a line for Intel Virtualization which was marked as 'Enabled'.** Can anyone please offer advice on how I can get Memory Integrity enabled? I like to have things as secure as possible. Many thanks[SOLVED] Memory Integrity bounces back to "turned off" state after Windows restart - fast ring 19536
This is an old post and the issue is no longer relevant. This has been happening since a couple of builds ago as well. I turn on the Memory Integrity in Core isolation section of Windows Defender, then after a restart or two, I go check again and see it's turned off. it usually happens when I uninstall a program that needs to be restarted. but it also happens when I uninstall a software that does Not need Windows restart to finish uninstall process. https://aka.ms/AA6xajf
