My windows defender is giving me this error message that Kernel-Mode Hardware-Enforced Stack Protection is turned off.
And when I check the issue it's HoYoKProtect.sys
Is there no solution to this problem. I checked one question in this forum, and it was in 2023 but till date no patch to fix it by Microsoft.
Link to that Issue discussed in 2023: LiveKernelEvent BSOD "Kernel-Mode Hardware-Enforced Stack Protection" - Microsoft Community
Help me understand what's the solution to this problem.

Heyansh

Hi Heyansh,
HoYoKProtect.sys is an anticheat driver. The respective vendor must issue an update as it's not a built-in Windows module.
You can, however, delete the driver to resolve the issue.
Please create a System Restore point and do the following:
Download Autoruns - Sysinternals | Microsoft Learn:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/...
Run Autoruns as administrator.
Click on the "Drivers" tab and delete the offending driver if it's listed.
Restart Windows.
