Microsoft will roll out a security patch that may negatively impact your gaming performance
It's a quick and easy fix, though.
Microsoft is set to roll out a security update in October that may impact gaming performance on some Windows PCs. The update will enable Memory Integrity, a kernel-level protection feature, on a broader range of eligible devices by default. This feature, along with Virtualization-based Security (VBS), provides protection against attacks targeting the Windows kernel.
According to Tom's Hardware, the rollout will assess each device's readiness using signals covering hardware capabilities, compatibility, and performance before making the change. Devices that already have Memory Integrity deliberately disabled will retain their existing configuration.
The update may use up some resources, potentially harming in-game framerates, as reported by XDA Developers. However, users can turn off the feature before it arrives on their PC.
