Extended methods of protecting the CPU are designed to prevent various attacks of harmful programs, but sometimes they damage legal charitable programs. This is exactly what happened with the streaming technology developed by the technology of streaming (CET), which did not allow users to launch applications from Microsoft Store in some systems based on Windows 10. To solve this problem, users need to establish a new correction of KB5015020 for Windows 10.

Intel Cet capabilities supported by the company's chips, starting with the 11th generation Core processors, Tiger Lake and some of the latest AMD processors, were designed to protect against unlawful use of legal code through attacks with interception of the control flow. This method should be maintained by software, and applications developers can use two methods to protect against attacks by interception of the control flow: indirect monitoring of branches (to protect against software attacks oriented to the transition/call) and shadow stack (to protect against programs oriented to return ). (ROP) Attack).

Apparently, after installing one of the latest updates, Windows 10 OS begins to use the capabilities of the CET for legal applications obtained from Microsoft's own store.

The new storage update of the KB5015020 must be loaded and set to solve the problem, Tom'Shardware notes.
