Two days before again I checked the features like intel Vtx in cpu intel i5 7200 on the asus vivobook 15 R542UQ-DM153 laptop

I recorded three videos using my laptop.

In first video , I enabled secureboot On , memory integrity OFF in core isolation , Virtualization Based security disabled in registry ,

, then the intel hardware virtualization features is YES ( available )

In second video , I enabled secureboot On , memory integrity ON in core isolation , Virtualization Based security disabled in registry ,

, then the intel hardware virtualization features is NO ( not available )

In third video , I enabled secureboot On , memory integrity ON in core isolation , Virtualization Based security enabled in registry ,

, then the intel hardware virtualization features is NO ( not available )

You are making these configuration changes in BIOS Setup? In this case, the problem may be BIOS bug. In this case, you need to contact vendor (Asus) to have them look at their BIOS

I am not making changes in BIOS , eventhough ,I never turned off the intel VTx in bios.

I always kept turned ON intel VTx .

I have attached 3 videos , you can see and verify ,

I have configured core isolation memory integration ON , if memory integration ON means intel VTx wont available
