Turn off DEP (Data Execution Prevention)

DEP or Data Execution Prevention is a new security feature created by Microsoft to prevent attacks to our computers. This new technology can be a headache in some occasions, usually when we want to install a software that wasn´t design to work with this feature.


The best we can do in these occasions is to disable DEP:

1. Go to Start and type cmd in the Start Search.

2. Right-click on cmd and select Run as administrator.

3. Type bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff to turn off DEP.

4. If you want to enable it again keep the cmd opened, install the program in trouble and type bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn to turn on the DEP again.
