Virtualization-based security allows Windows 11 to create a Secure Memory Enclave that's isolated from unsafe Code. Another built-in feature called Hypervisor-Enforced Code Integrity (HVCI) uses the capabilities of VBS to prevent unsigned or questionable Drivers and Software from getting into Memory. VBS and HVCI have a significant Performance Cost, particularly when it comes to gaming. As much as ~5% slower with these Settings on.
