Disable Windows 11 Memory Integrity

Memory integrity, also known as Hypervisor-protected Code Integrity (HVCI) is a Windows security feature that makes it difficult for malicious programs to use low-level drivers to hijack your PC. This may cause a USB driver error when attempting to run Impact on Windows 11.

To disable Memory Integrity on Windows:

• Navigate to Device Security>Core Isolation.

• Under Memory Integrity, toggle OFF.

• Restart your computer.

If Memory Integrity is still enabled, do the following:

• Open the Registry Editor (search for "regedit" and run as administrator).

• Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard.

• Locate the key HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity.

• Set the "Enabled" value to 0.

• Restart your computer.
