    Please add the CPU model / chipset to your report! I'm not a mind reader (yet)!:cool2:


    I think only 2 Secure Boot and 3 Kernel DMA Protection (IOMMU) are selectable in UEFI settings; 1 5 7 8 require a supporting CPU model, and 4 6 require specific ACPI tables and API calls in the UEFI firmware.


    BTW my Ryzen 5 3600 / ASRock X570 has 'scored' every option from 1 to 8 after I enabled IOMMU (in Advanced / AMD PBS).

    Still cannot turn on Memory Integrity in Security Settings - some legacy Logitech webcam drivers were listed as incompatible, and they weren't even present in Device Manager or Add/Remove Programs. Had to use pnputil to remove them from the Driver Store.
    Then there's an incompatible file system driver from a disk recovery utility which I currently use... that's already too much hassle for most users. I'm still on Windows 10 build 21390 though.

    Haha! I still need to sit down and get Win10-OA on my Lumia 950XL; I sooooooooo want to try it now that they have it almost 90% working as an actual phone.

    I'd need a new battery, but I wonder if it would run on my Lumia 950 too :shock:

    makes sense and auto pilot is a huge selling point for companies to go with MS for purchases even of some other oem hardware.

    like what i'm reading

    I doubt Intel or amd want to go back and write new drivers for old devices they stopped selling years ago.

    There goes my surface rt :-(

    Please give me the containers it would solve so many problems in windows

    That is pretty big if true.

    I'm excited for windows 11 even if a few machines can't run it. Those machines are older and will get upgraded as time goes on

    I have a very old Razer Deathadder mouse driver which is incompatible, but it's actually not in use, so I just removed it (apparently the check for incompatible driver looks for all driver files in the system, not just for active ones).
    Another incompatible is from a very old smart card reader. The hardware is fine but the latest driver is from 2015, so I decided to just remove it so I can enable memory integrity.

    I have R5 5600X, B550: 2,3,4,5,7,8
    Pretty sure I didn't enable IOMMU in BIOS after last BIOS flash.

    it's incredible that it still runs so well. My Lumia was my best telephone in many years. I paid 80€ for it, it took good photos, it uploaded everything to the cloud every time I made a photo, I still miss it to this date.

    Now I am using Android, though iOS and Android are not my thing, there arent any other options available, alas.


    Enabled secure boot on a Ryzen 3700X, motherboard is a Asrock B450M Steel Legend. Now I get this:

    I have never tried any windows phone, this discussion makes me wanna look for a used lumia smartphone :p Imo, windows mobile seems like a much better approach than both IOS and android, in special IOS. You wont be needing OS updates, with windows its just going to be on the same revision (w10) but still updated at the core etc.

    TVPC with Asrock Z270M Pro 4 and i5 7600K. UEFI isn't as up to date as the Surface Book's methinks. Asrock stopped releasing updates years ago, fairly shortly some initial Meltdown/Specter updates.

    I did get its built-in TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot activated but the Windows Insider tab still says Windows 11 isn't supported on it.


    How about a 2010 ASUS G73JH notebook. Intel HM55 chipset and i7 920XM. ;)

    Thank you all! Are you running Windows 10 'Vibranium' builds, or Insider Preview 'Cobalt' biuld?

    So far it looks like HVCI support does require specific UEFI firmware features, even if you have the supported processor generation...:-(

    Only Intel Kaby Lake and later systems seem to enable these features by default, while AMD Ryzen systems are inconsistent...

    https://linustechtips.com/topic/135...-market/page/5/?tab=comments#comment-14833134

    Did you flash the latest AGESA 1.2.0.3b firmware?

    Strange, looks like hypervisor is not enabled. Is that latest BIOS?

    Yeah beta one with AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.3 Patch B.
    The post-flash reset turns off virtualisation stuff & I don't necessarily remember to turn it on/may not have actually found all the relevant options.
