Looking for easy ways to enable or disable Core Isolation Memory Integrity in Windows 10?

It may be a new year but in terms of viruses and malicious software, not a lot has changed. It is something we all hope to avoid but the sad truth is that we cannot dodge it forever. 

Fortunately, keeping your Windows virus-free today is easier than ever before. Microsoft has been stepping up efforts to improve the security levels in Windows and Core Isolation is a relatively recent entry to its security features. Core Isolation shields the core operating system processes from potential tampering using virtualization-based security. 

In this guide, we will walk you through a few easy methods of enabling Core Isolation Memory Integrity the right way or disabling it if you’re running into issues. 

Let’s get started. 

1. Modify Windows Settings.

Windows is a highly customizable operating system, and while there are several tools and programs that allow you to customize the operating system according to your own preferences, Windows Settings is the easiest one to use. 

The first method to enable or disable Core Isolation Memory Integrity in Windows is by modifying Windows settings. 

Here is what you need to do:

  1. Press Windows + I keys simultaneously on your keyboard to open Windows Settings and select Updates & Security from the list of options available.

Here is how you can enable/disable Core Isolation on Windows 10 using Windows Registry:

  1. Press Windows + R keys simultaneously to open a Run dialogue box.
  2. Type ‘regedit‘ in the text field of the dialogue box and hit Enter to open Windows Registry.
  1. Once you are inside the Registry Editor, navigate to the location mentioned below.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard\Scenarios\HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity
  1. Now right-click anywhere in the right pane and select the New > DWORD (32-bit) Value option.
  2. Rename this newly created value as Enabled
