Security
DEP (Execute
Disable)
• Opt-In (default) — DEP is enabled by default on computers with
NX-capable processors. Only Windows system binaries are covered by DEP
with this option. Applications may enable DEP protection through creating
an application compatibility shim and installing that shim with the
application.
• Opt-Out — DEP is enabled for all processes. Users can manually create
exceptions for specific applications in System Properties, or IT Pros and ISVs
can use the Application Compatibility Toolkit to opt-out.
• Always On — Full DEP coverage with no exceptions.
• Always Off — No user-mode DEP coverage. Drivers and the Widows core
kernel binaries are covered by DEP, but no other binaries are included in the
set of covered applications.
Unlock Setup Use this option with an Admin Password to unlock setup options.
NOTE:
This option appears only when the Admin Password option is enabled.
