Windows 11 is expanding Memory Integrity protection to more eligible PCs in October 2026.

Memory Integrity — also known as HVCI — is a Windows security feature designed to strengthen protection against attacks that attempt to compromise the Windows kernel. Microsoft says Windows quality updates will begin enabling it on eligible devices, with Windows first evaluating hardware, compatibility and performance readiness. In this video, you'll learn: What Windows 11 Memory Integrity actually does What HVCI and VBS mean Which PCs may qualify How to check Memory Integrity in Windows Security Why incompatible drivers can cause problems Where to investigate Code Integrity events Whether you should disable Memory Integrity What to do if an older driver stops working Microsoft says existing administrator and user decisions and policies remain in effect, so the October rollout isn't intended to override a deliberate existing configuration. Microsoft also warns that some applications and hardware drivers can be incompatible with Memory Integrity and, in rare cases, compatibility problems can result in a boot failure.
