Windows 11 VBS security settings steal your frames

It's listed as off in my system information. Although I have to admit, I've carried this windows installation through win 10 to windows 11, from 1 AMD cpu to another, to Intel CPU, changing motherboards each time.
I did at least un-install the chipset drivers each time before powering off & re-building.

What does "probably minimal" mean? We don't know, but we think so?

This is what Id like to understand. Why does it matter if the system never moves? Is it implying this is only an issue on public networks?

My installation has had VBS off since install 2 years ago, not hacked yet!

Because security risks never change do they.... hackers never think of new ways to attack a system. Just because something wasnt possible or explotied 2 years ago, does not mean a new vector hasnt been found...

Was never enabled on Windows 10 and i never had an issue with that , i'll take the frames and take my chances with VBS turned off like i had previously on Win 10 ;)

Taking this stance to the extreme.... I never had issues running Windows XP back in the day, and never got hacked. However running XP today would be a very bad idea. Security is a constant game of cat-and-mouse. New attacks surface, new defenses need to rise to mitigate them. Something that wasnt necerssary 2 years ago, might well be needed today.

All I am saying is.... without knowing what VBS really does, and why Microsoft seem to think defaulting it to on is better... id be hestiant to disable it for a mere 5% more FPS~. Do I really care if my games are hitting 95FPS instead of 90? Without a counter... I couldnt tell and id wager most folks couldnt either.

Still ETTO on security I guess.
 
You can never be sure that you haven't been hacked. You can only be sure that you have if you find out:p. Life is wonderful right :D
