Security- Memory integrity hacked

Question

I am stymied. Memory integrity has been hacked. Cannot get it to stay in on position. Cannot download Norton. Cannot talk to a virtual agent. Do I need to replace with new windows?

Answer 1

Hi Jeanne,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.

With Memory integrity protection, kernel memory pages are only made executable after passing code integrity checks inside the secure runtime environment, and executable pages themselves are never writable. This is an enhancement to intrusion prevention capabilities in Windows Defender Exploit Guard.

You may create a new user profile and check if it works fine on the new profile. Refer Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10 to know how to create a new user profile.

Hope it helps.

When I go to device security and click on core isolation details, the Memory integrity is off. I can click it on,but if I restart computer, as is required and go back it's off.I can download Norton, but is is corrupted because I can view the files as they are loading and they are paused and are deleted. If it runs a scan it tells me there are no issues. Same with Defender. I can see that someone has downloaded My files and checked all my saved info."new means re-install windows. Thanks for help.

Hi Jeanne

Do not worry, you have not been hacked, there are a few bugs in the Core Isolation - memory integrity settings in Windows 10, that was only introduced in lately and Microsoft are still resolving issues with those features . . .

One thing you could try:

Click your Start Button, type regedit and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor

Click View and make sure 'Address Bar' is turned on

Paste this into the Address Bar at the top and hit Enter

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard\Scenarios\HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity

Double-click Enabled in the right hand pane

Set its value to 1

Click OK, close the Registry Editor and restart your PC

Then check to see if that setting stuck . . .
