Windows 10/11 virtualization-based security (VBS) uses virtualization and sandboxing to isolate application processes to improve security. The advantage of this is that even if the process is abnormal, it cannot penetrate the sandbox to affect other processes, such as stealing data.
Recently, AMD launched a new version of the chipset driver that contains multiple sub-drivers to solve known problems and optimize performance. AMD mentioned in the 3DV-Cache performance optimizer update that it has solved the problem of Windows 10 working when VBS is enabled.
The essential role of the 3DV-Cache performance optimizer driver is to help Windows NT arrange games onto the CCD core computing chip with 3D vertical cache, which can improve game performance.
However, the VBS problem is indeed small and not worth mentioning separately. Since 2023, the X3D processor will have an L3 cache reporting error on Windows 10 with VBS enabled. This is just a display problem and will not affect real use.
As for the performance problems caused by enabling VBS, there is really no way to solve it. AMD did not mention that enabling VBS may reduce the overall system performance. This problem is the same on other processors. This is not a bug but an expected problem.
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, VBS mainly uses virtualization and sandbox isolation processes, so as long as this function is enabled, the overall system performance will be reduced. However, VBS is not enabled by default on Windows 10.
If users are concerned about game performance, they can also turn off VBS themselves. This feature is also called memory integrity. The setting items are located in: Windows 10/11, Microsoft Defender, Device Security, Kernel Isolation, and Memory Integrity.
