As stated in the title, there is literally NO option to disable VT-d nor DMA kernel protection anywhere in BIOS, there's been a previous request in the forum but no one helped him. Any suggestions? Latest BIOS.... HP sucks... I regret ever buying an HP PC.

Hi @DMAWW,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd be happy to help you!
Not very specific information about the OMEN By HP 45L Gaming Desktop PC GT22-0000i and its settings. However, if you're looking to disable VT-d or Kernel DMA protection on your computer, you might want to check the computer's BIOS or UEFI settings.
To access these settings, typically you need to restart your computer and press a specific key (like Del, F2, F10, or Esc) during the boot process. Once in the BIOS or UEFI settings, look for options related to VT-d or DMA protection. Keep in mind that these settings can vary between different motherboard
If you're unable to find the option in the BIOS/UEFI, it's possible that your system may not support disabling these features or that the options are not exposed in the user interface.
For more precise guidance, I recommend you contact phone support for further assistance.
