Windows 11 comes with stringent security measures, including requirements from TPM 2.0 security chip to accompanying features. However, Microsoft VBS security feature tends to hinder gaming performance on many computer models. In this article, I'll guide you on how to disable VBS security feature on Windows 11, making your gaming experience on your computer much smoother.
1. What is the VBS security feature on Windows 11?
The Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) feature has been present since Windows 10 but will be enabled by default on Windows 11 when users upgrade their systems. This feature is announced to run independently, helping the computer prevent malicious software or malware from infiltrating. Specifically, the feature will create software and hardware virtualization to better protect your computer. However, according to research from PC Gamer, this feature has caused a decrease in performance when gaming on Windows 11. Specifically, with the game Shadow of the Tomb Raider, computer performance decreased by over 27% when playing (with VBS enabled).
