Memory Integrity suddenly disabled, and cannot re-enable on Blade Stealth 13 RZ09-310 | Razer Insider
Skip to main content
System bios version: 1.01

Me fw version 13.0.21.1319

OS: windows 11



I upgraded to window 11 from the out-of-box Windows 10 home some time ago, and had been using the laptop without issue. Suddenly, when I logged in yesterday I had a Windows Security alert saying that Memory Integrity was not enabled. I had never seen this alert before and keep my OS up to date with Windows Update.



There were no incompatible drivers listed.



I toggled the option to enable Memory Integrity again and was promoted to restart. However, when I restarted, the process froze at a black screen with the Razer logo and would not proceed past that.



I did a hard power off, holding down the power button for a second or two, and booted the computer again. This time I booted successfully, but Windows indicated that Memory Integrity was off again.



I've tried enabling the setting, and then shutting down and booting the computer again. This results in the toggle indicating that Memory Integrity is on, but the warning icon still appearing on the taskbar icon and a message in red saying that a restart is needed.



I tried enabling the toggle and restarting in safe mode without networking. While windows booted this time, i could not even open Windows Security successfully. Attempting to do so showed a white app window that never populated with the normal content.



I've tried everything I can think of but am scratching my head here. I was using the computer just a couple days ago without this warning/issue.
Memory Integrity option in Windows 11 uses Virtualization technology to protect PC from malicious programs.

It might be some problem with incompatible drivers - check Windows security -> Device security tab - if there's some problem with some drive it'll be listed.



Also for this type of security option you NEED to have:



  • TPM 2.0 module (dunno if this version is installed in Blade Stealth 2020, check in device manager)

  • Secure boot enabled



Enabling Memory Integrity option will increase security of your system, but also slightly decrease performance of the system.
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately:



There are no incompatible drivers listed (checked this before making the original post).



Secure boot is enabled (verified in both bios and windows).



TPM 2.0 is present (otherwise I wouldn't have even been able to install windows 11).
