Hi, a couple of days ago I disabled Spectre and Meltdown Security on my Windows 11 22H2 Laptop and now I am trying to enable it again but I can't seem to get it to work. I have tried using a app called "InSpectre" to enable it but it didn't work and i also changed a couple of registry settings to try to get it to work and that also didn't work and now I don't know any other ways to enable it. Does anyone know how to enable it again?

Hi,
See the steps below:
In the Windows search,
type cmd, right-click it, and choose run as administrator.
Execute:
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverrideMask /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f
Oh sorry, i meant to say Spectre and Meltdown Security. I disabled the Spectre and Meltdown Security through Registry Editor. My Processor is an Intel Core i7 10th Generation.
Hi,
I'm Sumit, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.
Spectre and Meltdown are vulnerabilities. They are not something which you can enable or disable it. Vulnerablity fix depends on your Processor - what is your processor model?
Keep us posted.
