01.The dilemma: Security or Speed?
In Windows 11, **VBS** (Virtualization-Based Security) and **Memory Integrity** are enabled by default. In 2026, these technologies are essential for protecting your PC against malware trying to inject code into the kernel. However, they require the processor to use part of its power to manage this "security bubble," which can cause performance loss and micro-stutters in heavy games.

02.1. How to check if VBS is active
Find out if your Windows is consuming extra resources:
- Press Win+R and type
msinfo32. - Scroll to the end and look for 'Virtualization-based security'.
- If it says 'Running', VBS is active and impacting performance.
03.2. How to disable (Core Isolation)
Gaining FPS in Seconds:
1. Search for 'Core Isolation' in the Start menu.
2. Disable the 'Memory Integrity' option.
3. Restart the computer.
This will free up processor cycles that would be used to verify each access to RAM, resulting in a more stable FPS, especially in entry-level processors or 2026 gaming notebooks.
04.3. Is it worth the risk in 2026?
Voltris Recommendation:
If you are a competitive gamer seeking every frame or have an older processor, disabling VBS is one of the best "hidden" tweaks in Windows 11. However, if your PC is used for work with sensitive data or if you don't have a reliable antivirus, keeping VBS **active** is the smartest choice. Losing 10 FPS isn't worth the risk of a kernel infection stealing your passwords.
