We will discuss Windows Data Execution Prevention feature and how to disable it. But before continuing, do you know what Data Execution Prevention is on Windows 10?
Well, Data Execution Prevention is a built-in feature of Windows 10 that prevents virus attacks or other security threats.
DEP also helps to keep computer systems protected by identifying programs to ensure that they are using memory safely.
Furthermore, DEP uses a set of hardware and software combinations to check a Windows computer's memory to prevent malicious code from executing.
But we are sure that one question must be spinning in your head!
When DEP keeps computers away from malicious attacks, what is the point of disabling it?
Truth be told, Yes, DEP protects your computer from viruses and security threats, and safely identifies programs that use memory. However, if you are thinking, it will prevent harmful software or programs from being installed on your system then you are wrong.
Well, Data Execution Prevention (DEP) can be seen as a blessing and a curse for both.
If DEP in Windows does its job perfectly without interfering with programs, that's a high point for us.
