Hello,
I should first of say that I'm running an amd fx 8350.
After upgrading my motherboard a game no longer works, (for those who play csgo, it's the "an issue with your computer is blocking vac kick) the issue is likely related to DEP (Data execute prevention), so I would enable it (all programs) in windows, however sometimes I would restart and get the issue in game. This time all the radio circles are grayed out in the DEP menu, and i'll get "To use these settings, you must be a computer administrator and you must use the bcdedit.exe file". So, i'm assuming this is because execute disable bit is disabled in the bios, I went to check and I can't find it anywhere, it's not in the CPU config menu. (https://i.imgur.com/yfFGdJc.jpg) And, yes, I did use the commands:
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn
So, where can I enable execute disable bit? I'm, assuming this will fix the issue of DEP turning off (or being grayed out)
 
Execute Disable Bit (EDB) is an Intel hardware-based security feature that can help reduce system exposure to viruses and malicious code.

For AMD systems, AMD added a "no-execute" or NX bit to the page table entry in its AMD64 architecture, providing a mechanism that can control execution per page rather than per whole segment.

So.. I can't enable it in the bios?
