Windows 10: Kernel-mode hardware enforced stack protection option is unavailable in Windows Security

Hi! New built PC, running Windows 11 Home Version 22H2 with the latest updates. Going into Windows Security settings -> Device Security -> Core Isolation. All I can see is Memory Integrity. Kernel Mode Hardware Enforced Stack Protection is not grayed out, it's completely missing. The PC is running Intel Core i7 13700k CPU with virtualization enabled in BIOS along with TPM and Secure Boot. What could be missing on this one? After some googling, Kernel Mode Hardware Enforced Stack Protection should be supported by my CPU.

Device security Kernel=mode hardware-enforced stack protection is off

Hi, and thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today.

I understand the issue you have, there is nothing to worry I am here to help, this issue occurs when the processor is not compatible or not supporting Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection (KSHSP), in addition, I suggest updating your BIOS first then checking it again.

If the issue persists, kindly follow the steps from Cristiano, here's the link: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

Let me know how it goes and I hope that helps.

kernel-mode hardware-enforced stack protection missing

When i check my core isolation in device security the option for Kernel mode protection isnt even there anymore after a recent update. Along with the option for LSA. From my understanding LSA is on and memory integrity is on, but i don't see either of those options. Is there a way to turn on kernel-mode hardware-enforced stack protection? or a fix to do so?

 

Kernel-Mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection missing

Hello,

I have a problem in my windows 11. Recently, I disabled the Kernel-Mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection in the menu in Core Isolation to play Fortnite which has this anti-cheat machine which conflicts with Kernel-Mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection. When I finished playing the game, went back to reenable the Kernel-Mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection and the option is not there any more. I see a memory access protection which also has not enable-disable button.

Lastly, It said that TPM was not available, I should check my BIOS. After 2-3 restarts the error was gone.

TPM is enabled by default from my BIOS and cannot be turned off. I have no idea what happened.

Any ideas? How to get it working and how to reappear in the windows settings? s

Also, when using msinfo32.exe it says that Kernel DMA protection is on. Is it the same?
