According to the support page published by the software giant Microsoft, Memory Integrity and Virtual Machine Platform (VMP) in Windows 11 can affect performance in games. Microsoft also states that as a result of turning these settings off, the system may become vulnerable to attacks. On the other hand, as a result of tests and user feedback, it is underlined that these settings affect game performance.
What is Memory Integrity and VMP?
Memory Integrity in Windows 11 helps ensure that drivers loaded into the operating system are reliable. Also, this setting protects your system from malicious attacks, while VMP provides basic virtual machine services. Microsoft brings both Memory Integrity and VMP features pre-enabled on new Windows 11 systems to better protect users from security threats. As we mentioned above, turning them off can pose a security risk.

Microsoft states that this process can be done for users who care about game performance, but there are risks. On the other hand, he states that these adjustments should not be made permanently, only when entering the game and then opening the features again.
