Windows 10: Disabled Exploit Protection System-wide but Process Explorer shows CFG and DEP enabled.

This is a clean installation on new hardware on 21h2. I am trying to disable all exploit protection settings system-wide.

Difference Between Exploit Protection DEP & Performance Options DEP

When I was playing around with some settings in Windows Defender, I noticed that there is a setting to turn on/turn off DEP in the Exploit Protection settings section. I've had trouble with DEP on Windows 7 so I ran the following command to disable it completely: bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

When I installed Windows 10, I didn't check to make sure that DEP was still disabled in Performance Options. Today I noticed a setting in Windows Defender where DEP was turned on. Naturally, not wanting this feature, I turned off the setting and rebooted. Then I thought about the DEP in Performance Options and was wondering if my turning off the DEP in Windows Defender also disable the DEP in Performance Options, or if they are unrelated and when I upgraded to Windows 10 that it saved my setting to disable DEP from Windows 7. So what exactly is the difference between the two--if any at all?

DEP errors make webpages unavailable

Hi Richard,

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a set of hardware and software technologies that perform additional checks on memory to help protect against malicious code exploits. You can turn off Data Execution Prevention for a particular program in Windows by following
the steps below:

• Open File Explorer.
• Right-click on This PC, choose Properties and then click on the
  Advanced system settings link.
• Now click on the Data Execution Prevention tab and you’ll see two radio buttons. By default, DEP should be set to the first radio button and therefore only protect essential Windows programs and services. If the second radio button is selected,
  it will turn on DEP for ALL processes, not just Windows processes.
  
• Since you’re having issues with your browsers, go ahead and try to select the first radio button, restart your computer and see if that fixes the issue. If not, you can go ahead and click the Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those
  I select button and then add the program that is having problems. Make sure to also check the box.
• Click the Add button and browse to the location of the executable for the program you want to remove from DEP protection.

Let us know if you need any other assistance.

Regards.
