    Can't find exact information on the difference in Window 11 between:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
    "RunAsPPLBoot"=dword:00000001

    and

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
    "RunAsPPLBoot"=dword:00000002

    Value of 2 is, supposedly, proposed as a fix for when there are related errors, but I am not certain. I think 0 means undefined, 1 means enabled, and 2 means disabled, but again, not certain. I want the value for the strictest protection.

    After Windows Security reported LSA to be OFF, I have settled with this "fix"
    Code:
    reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa" /v "RunAsPPL" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
    reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa" /v "RunAsPPLBoot" /t REG_DWORD /d "2" /f
