in Windows 11 24H2, under Device Security i have enabled all safety features of the operating system, at first directly then after testing them i have enforced them using the group policy editor:
Core Isolation
Memory Integrity
Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced stack protection
Memory access protection
Local Security Authority protection
Microsoft Vulnerable Driver Blocklist
However, WoW.exe has random crashes ever since i have enabled Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced stack protection and Memory access protection.
Why is WoW trying to read random stuff from other programs’ memory space?
All other programs on the computer work correctly, i have tested the RAM - there is no memory error… only WoW is crashing randomly when it tries to read from random addresses (?) / other programs (?) memory space.
Is it trying to “improve” the RNG engine by reading in random stuff?
All crashes are similar to:
