The launch of Windows 11 comes with a breakthrough in interface design, along with a lot of useful features that Microsoft has announced. Details of the changes on Windows 11 you can read more inthis paragraph Please !
Microsoft also confidently affirms that this is the fastest and most secure version of Windows ever when it introduces Virtualization-Based Security technology – A hardware and software virtualization feature that enhances security, prevents fraud attack by malicious processes running in the background.
However, security is nowhere to be seen, but in the immediate future, this feature has reduced the gaming performance of your computer by up to 30% and I had to Downgrade to Windows 10 right after having extremely bad gaming experiences on Windows 11 @@
But don’t worry about having to reinstall Windows 10, because in this article I will show you how to Turn off Virtualization-Based Security feature on Windows 11, make the game play smoother!
I. What is Virtualization-Based Security on Windows?
As I mentioned at the beginning of the article, Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) or translated into Vietnamese is virtualization-based security is a security feature first introduced on Windows 10.
This feature allows the Windows operating system to use the hardware virtualization capabilities of newer CPUs to isolate a safe area of computer memory, thereby helping the computer to prevent hackers from executing malicious code. .
The short explanation is that, but for a deeper explanation, it is very long and confusing, if you want more information, you can visit the VBS introduction page on Microsoft Docs Please !
However, we hardly knew about this feature until Windows 11 was released with pre-enabled VBS, significantly reducing the gaming performance of mid- to low-end configuration computers. .
If you have upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 The default Virtualization-Based Security feature is disabled. Because when upgrading, all the defaults on Windows 10 will be preserved.
On the contrary, if your machine is a new computer, or you have already done install new Windows 11 for computer By default, the Virtual-Based Security feature will be turned on. But it’s still best to check if that feature is enabled on the computer or not.
Perform:
Open system information window System Information
by Open the Run dialog box (Windows + R) => enter command msinfo32
=> and press Enter
.
In section System Summary
you find the line Virtualization-based security
. If column Value
display value as Not Enabled
As shown above, you do not need to do anything else.

is active, use one of the ways below to turn it off if you want.

Windows Security will also display a message asking you to restart Windows for this setting to take effect. You can choose Dismiss
to ignore this message and continue working if you haven’t played the game right away.
Method #2: Turn off VBS by removing some components of Windows 11
Windows Hypervisor Platform and Virtual Machine Platform are 2 components required for VBS to work, so if you remove the above 2 components, this feature will also be disabled.
You open Windows Search again (Windows + S) => then enter the keyword Windows Features
=> then select the first result as Turn Windows Features on or off
as shown below.
In the Windows Features window, scroll down and remove the tick in 2 lines Windows Hypervisor Platform

And still my old saying: Backup your entire Registry before doing so this tutorial Hey guys.
You can open Registry Editor by typing regedit
or Registry Editor
in the search box of Windows 11 then select the results as shown.
Access to the directory DeviceGuard
in the Registry under the path:

NOTE: You can paste this link directly into the address bar of Registry Editor for faster access, or refer to how Open any Registry path with just 1 click.
=> Then double-click on the key EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity
to change its value.
Default value in cell Value
its is 1
, ie on. Now let’s convert this value to 0
=> then press OK
Save it again and you’re done. Don’t forget to restart Windows for this change to take effect.
Method #4: Turn off VBS with Local Group Policy Editor
Group Policy Editor makes it possible for us to tweak many other aspects of Windows, those of you who are using Windows 11 Home can refer to the article. Instructions to unlock Local Group Policy Editor on Windows Home mine before.
Perform: Friend open Windows RUN (Windows + R), enter keyword gpedit.msc
=> then press Enter
to access the Local Group Policy Editor on Windows 11.
We also access the directory again Device Guard
but follow this new path:
Local Computer PolicyComputer ConfigurationAdministrative TemplatesSystemDevice Guard

II. Epilogue
So I just finished sharing with you 4 ways to Turn off the Virtualization-Based Security feature on Windows 11 okay, hope it can help you stay with Windows 11 longer ^^.
Unlike me, I had to downgrade to Windows 10 urgently after only half a day of use because it was too laggy with errors Windows Explorer Sometimes restarting itself is very frustrating.
