About this tag
Control Flow Guard (CFG) is a security feature in Windows that helps protect against memory corruption vulnerabilities by validating indirect call targets at runtime. On WindowsForum.com, discussions cover enabling CFG for Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) before its removal in March 2025, troubleshooting game errors like Battlefield error 136 where users try adding exceptions in CFG, and its role in mitigating arbitrary native code execution in Microsoft Edge.
