Microsoft May Automatically Enable Memory Integrity in Windows 11

Microsoft is reportedly preparing to automatically enable Memory Integrity in a future Windows 11 update.

The feature is part of Microsoft's effort to strengthen security in the operating system. It is designed to help keep malware and other nefarious programs at bay.

Keeping Memory Integrity enabled could have consequences for some users. The feature is expected to lock any undervolting software running on the system, according to the report. Undervolting software is used to reduce a processor's voltage, although the source does not identify specific applications.

The change may also affect gaming performance. The source says that enabling Memory Integrity could reduce performance, but does not provide test results or quantify the possible impact.

The reported Windows 11 changes also include improved memory efficiency for devices with 8GB of memory. Microsoft has not been quoted directly in the supplied source, and the report does not provide a release date for the update.
