Owner Code5yndicate 418 Posted October 27, 2020 Owner Share Posted October 27, 2020 Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a system-level memory protection feature that is built into the operating system starting with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. DEP enables the system to mark one or more pages of memory as non-executable. Marking memory regions as non-executable means that code cannot be run from that region of memory, which makes it harder for the exploitation of buffer overruns. Set DEP Back To Default Behavior To set DEP behavior back to default and make it manageable again via system settings, do the following. Open the Command window as Administrator. Enter the command bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx OptIn. Restart the computer. Now the radio buttons in the DEP tab in systems settings are accessible again. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
