Will the PC heat up more? Windows 11 update will block essential tools

SAPO Notícias4 September 2026 at 09:00

Microsoft is preparing a profound change in Windows 11 that promises to shake up the hardware enthusiast community. In the update expected for October, the operating system will automatically activate the VBS (Virtualization-based Security) feature, which uses processor resources to isolate and protect sensitive areas of the system. This change means that all PCs with compatible processors will have VBS enabled by default, something that previously only happened on enterprise systems. Microsoft's decision aims to reinforce the security of the operating system, making it more difficult for malware to exploit vulnerabilities. However, this feature consumes processor and memory resources, which can result in performance decreases in games and demanding applications. The automatic activation of VBS can also affect compatibility with certain tools and utilities that users regularly use.
