Windows 8 and Later Fail to Properly Apply ASLR, Here's How to Fix. Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and subsequent Windows 10 variations fail to properly apply ASLR, rendering this crucial Windows security feature useless.
Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) is a computer security technique that randomizes the memory address where application code is executed. ASLR made its debut in OpenBSD, in 2003, and since that time it's been added to all major operating systems, including Linux, Android, macOS, and Windows. Microsoft added ASLR in Windows with the release of Vista, in 2006.
In order to enable the feature, users had to install Microsoft EMET and use its GUI to enable ASLR in system-wide and/or application-specific states. With the release of the Windows 10, ASLR was added to the Windows Defender Exploit Guard, and users can now enable it via the Windows Defender Security Center (under App & browser control and then Exploit protection settings).
