Virtualization-based protection of code integrity (herein referred to as HVCI) is a powerful system mitigation, which leverages hardware virtualization and the Windows Hyper-V hypervisor to protect Windows kernel-mode processes against the injection and execution of malicious or unverified code.
Virtualization-based protection of code integrity (herein referred to as Hypervisor-protected Code Integrity, or HVCI) is a powerful system mitigation that leverages hardware virtualization and the Windows Hyper-V hypervisor to protect Windows kernel-mode processes against the injection and execution of malicious or unverified code.
Code integrity validation is performed in a secure environment that is resistant to attack from malicious software, and page permissions for kernel mode are set and maintained by the Hyper-V hypervisor.
Some applications, including device drivers, may be incompatible with HVCI.
This can cause devices or software to malfunction and in rare cases may result in a Blue Screen. Such issues may occur after HVCI has been turned on or during the enablement process itself.
If this happens, see [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) for remediation steps.

To boot to Windows RE, see [Windows RE Technical Reference](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-recovery-environment--windows-re--technical-reference). After logging in to Windows RE, you can turn off HVCI by renaming or deleting the SIPolicy.p7b file from the file location in step 3 above and then restart your device.

- **Hyper-V Code Integrity (HVCI).** Hyper-V Code Integrity is a feature of Device Guard that ensures only drivers, executables, and DLLs that comply with the Device Guard Code Integrity policy are allowed to run.

When enabled and configured, Windows 10 can start the Hyper-V virtualization-based security services, including Hyper-V Code Integrity (HVCI). HVCI helps protect the system core (kernel), privileged drivers, and system defenses, like antimalware solutions, by preventing malware from running early in the boot process, or after startup.

HVCI uses virtualization-based security to isolate Code Integrity, the only way kernel memory can become executable is through a Code Integrity verification. This means that kernel memory pages can never be Writable and Executable (W+X) and executable code cannot be directly modified.
