Your computer will be less secure if it is running any of these versions of Windows 11.
The recently announced change is quite unexpected because Windows has a number of security measures in place to guarantee that our computers are secure and completely shielded from outside threats.
Prior to 24H2, the most recent version of Windows 11, Microsoft intends to eliminate the security feature from builds.
Specifically, Microsoft is discontinuing VBS, primarily affecting Windows 11 builds 23H2 and 22H2, but not the recent 24H2 build.
VBS enclaves in Windows are an advanced security feature that leverages virtualization-based security to create isolated environments within the operating system where you can modify code or handle sensitive data securely.
Given this, it is unknown why Microsoft intends to remove VBS in older versions of Windows 11, as there may still be many users.
It is understood that Microsoft may end up retiring older standards to improve system security while introducing newer, better standards.
These types of VBS enclaves improve application memory security by creating virtual trust levels within a trusted software-based execution environment.
That's why it's absolutely essential that we always update our operating system, in this case Windows 11, to the latest version.
