Windows 10: Un-allowed DMA capable bus/devices detected

Hallo there!


I would like to enable device encryption in Windows 10. However, I see the error in the system information page that un-allowed DMA capable bus/devices have been detected. I do not know what to do. I checked the BIOS and found a possibly relevant setting which is the pre-boot DMA protection which is enabled for all PCI devices. Should I turn it off? Or something else?


The laptop model is HP Probook 440 G7.


Thanks.

:)

 

Un-allowed DMA capable bus/device(s) detected

My problem is how can I find out which device on my laptop is Un-allowed DMA capable. I tried disabling my USB devices and unplugging laptop from docking station. My colleague has same laptop model and he is not having same issue as I do.

System Information

 

Un-allowed DMA capable bus/device(s) detected

Microsoft provides this documentation about this message.

Both the blacklist and whitelist are in your registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DmaSecurity. I’m not aware of an automated process to check this, though creating one should be pretty easy.

A typical candidate that exists on most systems is “PCI-to-PCI Bridge”. Curiously, “PCI Express Root Complex” is both in AllowedBuses and UnallowedBuses.
