<!--Description-->
This policy setting enables process mitigation options on svchost.exe processes.
If you enable this policy setting, built-in system services hosted in svchost.exe processes will have stricter security policies enabled on them.
This includes a policy requiring all binaries loaded in these processes to be signed by Microsoft, as well as a policy disallowing dynamically-generated code.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Enabling this policy could cause compatibility issues with third-party software that uses svchost.exe processes (for example, third-party antivirus software).
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the stricter security settings will not be applied.
<!--/Description-->
> [!TIP]
> This is an ADMX-backed policy and requires a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).
>
> You must specify the data type in the SyncML as &lt;Format&gt;chr&lt;/Format&gt;. For an example SyncML, refer to [Enabling a policy](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md#enabling-a-policy).
>
> The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see [CDATA Sections](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect).
