WN10-CC-000085 - Early Launch Antimalware, Boot-Start Driver Initialization Policy must prevent boot drivers.
Information
By being launched first by the kernel, ELAM ( Early Launch Antimalware) is ensured to be launched before any third-party software, and is therefore able to detect malware in the boot process and prevent it from initializing.Solution
Ensure that Early Launch Antimalware - Boot-Start Driver Initialization policy is set to enforce 'Good, unknown and bad but critical' (preventing 'bad').If this needs to be corrected configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> System >> Early Launch Antimalware >> 'Boot-Start Driver Initialization Policy' to 'Enabled' with 'Good, unknown and bad but critical' selected.
