Is core isolation required?

EA_Leeuw​ I am wondering if Core Isolation is required for BF6? I see conflicting articles and data regarding it and just wondering if that is the cause of crashing to desktop as in some point of the match anticheat does a scan- sees Core Isolation off and shuts the game down? 
if it’s not required I’d like to keep it off because apparently it helps frames? That being said if it’s required for newer kernel based AC’s then I may need to keep it on? Does anyone know anything about this?

this article from Corsair seems to make it look like you need it on:

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/explorer/gamer/gaming-pcs/how-to-enable-tpm-20-secure-boot-hvci-and-vbs-for-battlefield-6/

Then I see if I Google it AI says that-no core isolation is not required and it might actually conflict with anti-cheat systems so I’m not sure whether to leave it on or off I would preferably like to leave it off if you guys know for sure it’s not messing with the anti-cheat system for Battlefield 6 because leaving it off does actually increase performance.

    Core-isolation is a Windows Defender feature, people using other antivirus-solutions may not have such a feature. If they demanded Windows Defender, it would be a problem for a lot of users. 

    I have disabled CPU-virtualization in bios, use Windows Defender with disabled core-isolation and have never had any issues.

    Other anticheat-solutions like FACEIT use CPU-virtualization (bios-setting), but not EAs (at the moment at least).

  • It only worked if i made a user.cfg file isolating it to one of my CCD’s before the 12/9/25 update. Now it just doesnt work at all
