Hello everyone, I just recently purchased a ASUS TUF Gaming Laptop A15 for the past 3 days I've been trying to disable Kernel DMA Protection If I go to Windows Securty and head to Device Security under Core Isolation I dont have any button to toggle ON or OFF. If I head trough the BIOS I cant find anything either. I tried looking for anything like Vt-x or kernel dma on my bios and cant see anything the bios menu looks way too limited while pressing f7 to go to advance settings on the BIOS.

I tried contacting ASUS support and they didnt even know how to disable it. 

I love coding and these features I need them to be disabled in order to make my programs run well. this is my first AMD product and I'm not really happy about it. 

 

Hope someone can help.

To further investigate your issue, could you please provide the laptop's serial number and BIOS version via private message, along with a screenshot of the "Security" tab in the BIOS? This will help us with further diagnostics. Thank you for your cooperation!

On my Intel motherboard, it was the UEFI/Bios setting "IOMMU Pre-Boot.." that activated or deactivated the kernel DMA protection.

Why do you want to deactivate it?

You can't deactivate or activate it in Windows itself.
