In 4 years, I can count on one hand the number of times my Windows 7 machine crashed. Every time I got happy with usb and standby. Since having Windows 10, I'm out of fingers and working on toes.

Are you saying that with the new system your brain will crash when you go to sleep (standby)?

I thought that in order to file a patent, you had to have a working prototype.

During the mid-90s, Intel realized that IBM BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) style firmware interface had many limitations. As a result, Intel pushed the development of EFI specifications and contributed to the Unified EFI Forum. Press DEL (or is it F2?) to continue
Or just keep pressing them both until something happens

I like to throw in an F8 for good measure too.
Keep rebooting and pressing F-Keys, dropping F-bombs...

The darn limitation it has is that it must ignorantly boot from the c: drive or sector 0 anyway, and not the cloud which is what they all want in a final deal to wrestle your ownership of your stuff away from you so you have to rent usage of the pc.
Nuts to that man.

AFAIK network boot was around pre-UEFI as an enterprisy option.

The Utah researchers had created a computer program to simulate the feel of touching a virtual wall — an early test to prepare Walgamott for the robotic arm.
As Walgamott moved his arm, a virtual hand on the computer screen before him moved as well, plunking down the ridges of the corrugated wall.
“It was stunning. I could actually feel the wall. I could feel the bumps along it,” he said. “It almost brought tears to my eyes.”
Science. It works.

Since Vista, Windows has included a security feature known as ASLR. Address Space Layout Randomization uses a random memory address to execute code, but in Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 the feature is not always applied properly. For those willing to flip a Registry setting to randomize memory

The non-clickbait title should read, "But you almost certainly don't need to, and are equally unlikely to be able to do so if you do need to".
ASLR is only bugged in EMET mode; a cluster of system lock downs that make guns firing bullets in 2 directions at once seem like extra safe nursery toys. Unless you're the sysadmin whose full time job is dealing with all the ways it blows up in your users faces you're not going to be able to touch any of the settings required because you've been locked out for your own good. (Or someone's paranoid power trip anyway.)

Hi,
Dan Neely wrote: ASLR is only bugged in EMET mode;
That's completely false.
Also, there is no such thing as 'EMET Mode' as the 'Mandatory ASLR' implementation resides in the windows kernel since Windows 8. The entropy is disabled even if you use the Windows 10 'Windows Defender Security Center' UI to change the setting to 'Use Default (On)'
I believe you are referring to the legacy behavior of EMET on XP/Win7 where EMET scans all executable DLL imports (excluding kernel32 and user32) and preallocates a page identical to the base address of each DLL dependency thereby forcing a conflict... which causes the NT loader to move the DLL base address. (Forced ASLR via address conflict)
Interesting enough... I've known about this entropy issue since ~2012 but I always assumed that the obfuscation was intentional.
P.S.
I highly recommend that you enable this setting on corporate/critical infrastructure. Not sure why you want to tell everyone they do not need this setting... even all current Unix/Linux distributions have an ASLR implementation[^].

The CERT warning itself says otherwise.
The Problem
Both EMET and Windows Defender Exploit Guard enable system-wide ASLR without also enabling system-wide bottom-up ASLR. Although Windows Defender Exploit guard does have a system-wide option for system-wide bottom-up-ASLR, the default GUI value of "On by default" does not reflect the underlying registry value (unset). This causes programs without /DYNAMICBASE to get relocated, but without any entropy. The result of this is that such programs will be relocated, but to the same address every time across reboots and even across different systems.
Impact
Windows 8 and newer systems that have system-wide ASLR enabled via EMET or Windows Defender Exploit Guard will have non-DYNAMICBASE applications relocated to a predictable location, thus voiding any benefit of mandatory ASLR. This can make exploitation of some classes of vulnerabilities easier.
It repeatedly says the problem is only with EMET not fulling enabling ASLR.
