Microsoft Turns On Memory Integrity for More Windows 11 PCs With November Update
Plenty of Windows 11 PCs upgraded from Windows 10 could find Memory Integrity switched on after this month's Patch Tuesday.
Why am I seeing this Ranked on recency
It is here mostly because it is new. Freshness is the largest single contributor to its score, which means nothing about the story except that it is recent.
Nothing much is corroborating this yet. On a quiet day in microsoft that is enough to reach the top of the section — recency, not significance, is doing the work here.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 31% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.44 | +0.110 25% | TechPowerUp is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshnessleads | 0.20 | 0.99 | +0.197 45% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
Plenty of Windows 11 PCs upgraded from Windows 10 could find Memory Integrity switched on after this month's Patch Tuesday. The November security update, KB5132061, carries over a change from the optional October 28 preview (KB5127936) that lets Windows enable Memory Integrity, also called Hypervisor-Protected Code Integrity (HVCI), on eligible devices during the update. Microsoft first announced the plan in September, and the change applies to Windows 11 25H2 and 26H2 as a gradual rollout. PCs where a user or IT admin already turned the feature off are left alone.
