WindowsSystem Component

Secure System na di Windows Task Manager label wey dem associate with di secure environment wey virtualization-based security dey use. Check di actual VBS configuration instead of interpreting di label as an executable filename.

Wetin you need know

VBS dey use di Windows hypervisor to create isolated environment for selected security protections. Memory integrity na one feature wey use dat environment; di configured features depend on di device and policy.

This entry describe a Windows reporting label, not a certificate or installer for a file wey get the same name. (pcm)

Does this label identify an executable file?
No file identity follow from this label. Investigate any actual file separately. (pcm)
What should I inspect?
Microsoft document di following read-only query from elevated Windows PowerShell session. For managed computer, ask di administrator before elevating; interpret di returned properties using di linked VBS documentation.
Feex tok say
If I see Secure System beside System, I dey treat am say VBS dey on, no be say na second OS to uninstall. Dem no offer make you end am for good reason.

Understand the Windows reporting context

Wetin e dey do?

VBS dey use di Windows hypervisor to create isolated environment for selected security protections. Memory integrity na one feature wey use dat environment; di configured features depend on di device and policy.

Wetin make am dey run?

Compare di displayed label with di device's VBS and memory-integrity state. Appearance and reporting fit vary by Windows build and configuration.

E dey safe?

A familiar system label no fit certify a separate executable wey use the same name. Inspect that file independently if one dey. (pcm)

I fit end am?

Changing memory integrity or other VBS protections changes di computer's security configuration and fit involve driver compatibility. Record di current state and consult di administrator or documented Windows procedure before changing am.
