Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is built into Windows 11 and adds an extra layer of security that stops malware from running in memory. It is enabled by default and is designed to recognize and terminate unauthorized scripts from running in reserved areas of computer memory. This is a popular attack vector for malware so Microsoft added DEP to stop it.

We have already seen how Data Execution Prevention, a security feature can help prevent damage to your Windows 11/8/7 computer from viruses and other security threats. Harmful programs that try to attack Windows by attempting to execute code from system memory locations reserved for Windows and other authorized programs are stopped. These types of attacks can harm your programs and files. DEP can help protect your computer by monitoring your programs to make sure that they use system memory safely. If DEP notices a program on your computer using memory incorrectly, it closes the program and notifies you. It is a security feature.
