How's it going! To anyone who can help, I play Valorant, and out of nowhere two days ago, i got kicked out of my game for HVCI needing to be enabled, which, based on my knowledge, is directly linked to Memory Integration in settings. It originally was not even in my settings, so a friend helped me locate what I needed to switch on in my BIOS in order to do so. Once I did so, I switched memory integrity on, but there were incompatible drivers that I got rid of. When prompted to restart my pc to make this change, I would do so, and it would always stay off. My friends and I ended up trying a bunch of stuff over the course of the last two days, and nothing would work.

I also updated my BIOS, I have an Asus B550 wifi mother board, still no luck. I wanted to add that when restarting my pc sometimes a black screen saying my device ran into a problem will pop up but it wont pop up every time with an error stating -->

Stop Code: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED ((0x7e)
What Failed: ACPI.sys

I am unsure if this has anything to do with memory integrity.

We checked forums, watched videos, and asked ChatGPT. It got to the point where I actually just reset my entire pc, and even when booting up again, memory integrity was switched off, and when I was prompted to restart again, it stayed off.

At this point, I have no clue what to do and just need any help to get it to work. If anyone has dealt with this before and fixed it, or if anyone just knows what to do, that would mean a lot! Winter break just started, and after the semester I just had all I was trying to do was grind LMAO.

    Hello Omar,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. It's my pleasure to help you today.

    I understand that you are having issue enabling the memory integrity. Before we proceed, may I know that have you tried so far so I can understand the situation more and get a hold of what have been changed in your computer.

    I'm waiting for your reply so we can work on it together.
