![]() ![]() ![]() Regarding your second question, I would assume that disconnecting your computer from the internet for a short time would not make your computer more vulnerable, and when you are disconnected it actually decreases the risk your computer will be infected by an outside attack (e.g., you will not be able to receive new emails that might include a malicious attachment). In many cases a simple driver update will solve this problem. If you are able to toggle the switch for Memory Integrity on but it reports that you have an incompatible driver during the driver check, that support article also notes that it should list the responsible driver. If your computer shipped from the factory with Windows 11 pre-installed then virtualization is likely enabled. If the toggle for Memory Integrity is greyed out (disabled), the Microsoft support article Core Isolation notes that " To use memory integrity, you must have hardware virtualization enabled in your system’s UEFI or BIOS." If I open Task Manager, choose the Performance tab and select CPU, it shows that my Intel Core i5-8265U CPU has virtualization enabled. What is your computer make/model, Windows operating system, version (e.g., 21H2, 22H2, etc.) and the OS build number shown at Settings | System | About | Windows Specifications] and what type of CPU do you have in your computer? The next morning I noticed that my laptop was NOT connected to the Wi-Fi network over night.does this make my laptop more vulnerable to attack?. I Tried to turn on Memory Integrity, but each and every effort to do so failed. ![]() In trying to beef up security on my HP laptop I came across Core Isolation & Memory Integrity. I thank you in advance for having taken the time to read my post, and of course, for responding. The next morning I noticed that my laptop was NOT connected to the Wi-Fi network over night.does this make my laptop more vulnerable to attack? I changed some of the passwords on my laptop on evening (late at night) and therefore had to restart my HP laptop.because it was late at night I forgot to reconnect to the Wi-Fi network when I shut down my laptop (I was very tired). I have recently paid my ISP to swap out my Modem & Router for new firmware (replacement Modem & Router) plus new SSID and Wi-Fi password. I have had this laptop for 3 years and never used Core Isolation/Memory Integrity (because I was to naïve to even know that they existed), hence is Memory Integrity THAT important? My understanding is is that they had to disable Microsoft Windows Defender (Firewall & AV), hence could this account for the fact that I CANNOT turn on Memory Integrity? (as the security has been outsourced to Norton & MBAM) I bought my laptop from BestBuy, and while in store, asked GeekSquad to install Norton & MBAM Premium on my new HP laptop. I Tried to turn on Memory Integrity, but each and every effort to do so failed (sadly)! o( This has recently changed due to malware ending up on my laptop. I am a senior citizen (81 years old) who, for the most part, has NOT used the majority of the features on my HP laptop (such as Corona, Widgets, and 99% of the Apps). ![]()
