That's because your CPU lacks Guest Mode Execute Trap (GMET), which is a feature that Windows 11 uses to accelerate the system when it's using VBS (virtualization-based security). Without it, the performance would suffer too much when using VBS. GMET started being included on Zen+ CPUs. @spaceship9876: same reply, your CPU lacks the same thing, which on Intel is called Mode Based Execution Control (MBEC). -

This Gen4 NVMe SSD has a self-destruct button to bomb all user data but it's for the good by Sayan Sen This week, Team Group has introduced the INDUSTRIAL P250Q Self-Destruct SSD, a new storage drive that combines hardware and software-based data-erasure mechanism with an independent destruction circuit. As such, the drive recently won the 2025 COMPUTEX Best Choice Award in the Cyber Security Category due to this dual-mode destruction approach. Team Group notes how organizations relying on software-only wipes often face interrupted or incomplete erasure during outages when power is lost. Team Group’s answer embeds a patented destruction circuit, patented under Taiwan Utility Model Patent: M662727, that directly targets the Flash IC, ensuring hardware-level deletion. At the same time, Team group adds that an "intelligent software system" picks up and resumes erasure automatically after an outage thus helping safeguard confidential, classified or proprietary information such that recovery is not possible even after interruptions. So while this is not for consumers, it is still a very interesting product, regardless, as we may in the future, have similar implementations for general users too. On the hardware side, the P250Q offers a one-click activation button and multi-stage LED indicators. These LEDs provide real-time feedback on progress, from initial commands to final completion, so that IT support and other such operators can confirm erasure without needing specialized tools. Here is a gist of the data destruction features for the drive: One-click self-destruct activation Intelligent dual-mode (hardware + software) erasure Secure independent destruction circuit targeting the Flash IC Auto-resume erasure after power loss Multi-stage LED indicators for real-time progress Under the hood, the P250Q uses a PCIe Gen4x4 interface based on the NVMe version 1.4 standard. It is said to deliver sequential read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s and write speeds up to 5,500 MB/s, supporting mission-critical workloads. The drive is available in 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB capacities, and it’s built on 3D TLC NAND Flash. The full technical specs of the P250Q M.2 SSD are given below: Specification Details Model P250Q-M80 M.2 PCIe SSD Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface & Protocol PCIe Gen4×4, NVMe 1.4 Capacities 256 GB / 512 GB / 1 TB / 2 TB Flash Memory 112-Layer 3D TLC NAND Sequential Performance Read: up to 7,000 MB/s Write: up to 5,500 MB/s Endurance & Reliability MTBF: > 3 million hours P/E Cycles: 3K P/E Cycles Endurance: (not specified) Shock Resistance Operating: 50 G / 11 ms (MIL-STD-202G, Cond. A) Non-operating: 1,500 G / 0.5 ms (MIL-STD-883K, Cond. B) Vibration Resistance Operating: 7.69 Grms, 20–2,000 Hz random (MIL-STD-810G) Non-operating: 4.02 Grms, 15–2,000 Hz sine (MIL-STD-810G) Operating Temperature 0 °C to 70 °C Storage Temperature –40 °C to 85 °C Humidity 5% ~ 95% You can find the official press release as well as the product link at the source links below. Alongside the P250Q launch, Team Group adds that it has also secured a U.S. invention patent for its wide-temperature M.2 SSD technology under "US 12283335 B2". This is said to automatically adjust data transfer rates across three thermal zones, maintaining stable operation in ambient temperatures from 85 °C to 105 °C without throttling.

I no longer use any social media except Bluesky and even when I was using the bigger sites, they were still all horrendous at serving me ads I remotely would care about. -

Excellent article, full of truths that Microsoft should read.
