Turn On Virtualization Based Security

This computer policy controls Virtualization-based Security (VBS) and several protections that use it. VBS uses hardware virtualization and the Windows hypervisor to create a secure environment isolated from the normal operating system. Windows can host security services in this environment and protect selected resources even if the regular operating-system kernel is compromised.
