# Disable Core Isolation

*Core Isolation (Memory Integrity) is a Windows security feature that uses virtualization to block unsigned drivers. Many of our products cannot inject while it is enabled.*

{% hint style="info" %}
**Disable this if:**

* Your loader shows a **virtualization / VBS / Hyper-V** related error
* Injection fails silently even though Defender is disabled
* A product guide's setup or troubleshooting steps sent you here
  {% endhint %}

## Method 1: Windows Security Settings

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open Core Isolation Settings

1. Search **"Core Isolation"** in your Windows search bar and open it

   *(or go to **Settings → Privacy & security → Windows Security → Device security → Core isolation details**)*
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Turn Off Memory Integrity

1. Set the **Memory integrity** toggle to **Off**
2. If Windows asks for confirmation, accept it
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Restart Your PC

Restart your system — the change does not take effect until after a reboot.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Method 2: Registry (If the Toggle Is Greyed Out or Turns Itself Back On)

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the Registry Editor

1. Press **Windows + R**
2. Type: `regedit` and hit **Enter**
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Navigate to the HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity Key

In the top address bar, paste the following and hit **Enter**:

```
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard\Scenarios\HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Set Enabled to 0

1. Double-click **`Enabled`**
2. Change the value to `0`
3. Click **OK**
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Restart Your PC

After the restart, Memory Integrity will be off.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**To re-enable it later**, turn the Memory integrity toggle back **On** in Core Isolation settings (or set the registry value back to `1`) and restart your PC.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Toggle still re-enables itself, or errors persist?** Hyper-V may also need to be disabled — create a ticket in our [Discord](https://ssz.gg/discord) and our support team will assist you.
{% endhint %}
