Description

Used to turn on and off various process mitigation settings. Can also apply an XML file to apply settings for many processes at once.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\>  Set-ProcessMitigation -Name Notepad.exe -Enable SEHOP -Disable ForceRelocateImages

Gets the current process mitigation for "notepad.exe" from the registry and then enables SEHOP, and disables ForceRelocateImages.

Example 2

PS C:\> Set-ProcessMitigation -PolicyFilePath settings.xml

Applies all settings inside settings.xml

Example 3

PS C:\> Set-ProcessMitigation -System -Enable DEP

Applies DEP at the system level. To disable mitigations, you can replace -Enable with -Disable. However, for app-level mitigations, this will force the mitigation to be disabled only for that app.

Exmaple 4

PS C:\> Set-ProcessMitigation -System -Remove -Disable DEP

If you need to restore the mitigation back to the system default, you need to include the -Remove cmdlet as well, as in the above example:

Example 5

PS C:\> Set-ProcessMitigation -System -Enable SEHOP

Enable SEHOP Component at the system level.

Example 6

PS C:\> Set-ProcessMitigation -System -Disable SEHOP

Disable SEHOP Component at the system level.

Example 7

PS C:\> Set-ProcessMitigation -System -Reset

Reset Mitigation at the system level.
