All VBS features become disabled once you disable/remove the Hyper-V Platform. You can disable/enable individual VBS components in Windows Security app. But if you really want to regain that performance, you need to ensure that Hyper-V Platform is disabled/removed also.
Computer n00b: my pc has suxx0r fps PC repair shop owner: bring it in, I'll take a look (disables VBS). That'll be $60 Computer n00b: Thanks! Now moar fps! Edit: but seriously, somebody needs to make a script to disable this.
Is this enough? Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard] "EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity"=dword:00000000
I think so. Looks good. I'll probably make a task to run this at boot along with my existing disabling fast boot every reboot to keep updates from re-enabling/enabling it.
And I thought I'm getting old. So, another feature where Windows ignores user prefs. Could you post that too (or point to the place where it is posted)?
If it has bad effects on a large percentage of people that wouldn't have a clue that VBS is the problem or how to disable it, then pissing and moaning may be justified. It's up to people like us to piss and moan about it so the great unwashed masses don't have to piss and moan about it, or something like that. Unless the goal is to make money off of fixing people's pc's with VBS enabled, that is.
tho I have never seen fast startup preference getting reverted and only heard about it once where it was an issue with intel onboard drivers, not windows per-se (but then again, windows started shoveling all kinds of drivers down people's configurations more aggressively)
It happened to me one time (maybe twice) years ago after an update so I drew a line in the sand and said, "never again." If I live to be 100 years old I will be disabling it at every boot until the day I die. On my deathbed and in my will, I will specify that for my descendants to get my pc they have to disable fast startup at every boot. This is non-negotiable. They will have to provide periodic proof and submit to surprise checks that they are disabling it. They also have to teach their children and their children's children to disable it. I'm already setting up the No Fast Startup Fund to teach this at universities and schools. It is my life's goal to keep this crap turned off. Think of the children.
VBS not only tanks performance, it also makes virtualization extremely difficult. Virtualbox stops working all together, on VMware the virtualization performance is very poor and you can't change a lot of the VM settings.
