Windows 11 Memory integrity/HVCI

Hi, i just joined this subreddit. I have a very low end laptop. And i play VALORANT mainly, as many of u all might already know that Memory integrity/hvci tanks performance, so me, ive basically played Val for like 5 yrs with it disabled. And i had really Stable FPS. Ofcourse partnered with other optimizations. But recently, after updating some drivers, Valorant suddenly required HVCI to be enabled in order to play, but then i tried to play and FPS is ssooooo bad and stutters was just so bad. My query is that is there a way to enable HVCI BUT not suffer from the performance loss that it brings? And fyi my laptops already fully optimized and theres just nothing left to optimize.

    HVCI/Microsoft Memory Integrity is a security feature that helps prevent kernel-level malware, but it can definitely impact FPS and cause stutters on weaker laptops.
