    Vista HP x86
    DEP All Programs
    Process Explorer 15.2

    Under Select Columns, I can't seem to select DEP Status (greyed out). Tried running PE as Admin, still no joy.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks PhantomPhenix.

    DEP is enabled. No problem viewing it in Task Manager, just can't get it to show up in Process Explorer :( .

    Hi, lets try to boot this window open. Open Command Prompt as Admin rights. Copy and paste each and reboot.

    bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn

    bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx optin

    It could possibly be corruption in Process Explorer's settings. Run Regedit and navigate to the key:
    Code:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sysinternals\Process Explorer
    
    Right click on the highlighted Process Explorer key, select export and save the .reg file somewhere convenient.
    Then delete the Process Explorer key. See if you can now select the DEP column option. If not, just double click/merge the exported reg file to restore your previous settings.

    Thanks for the help, guys, but no luck with either suggestion :( .

    Got it sorted though, dropped to PE 15.1 and was able to select DEP Status :) . Must be a bug in the latest version o_O .

    Cheers.
