The kernel connects the application software to the hardware of a computer. Kernel Patch Protection (KPP), informally known as PatchGuard, is a feature of 64-bit editions of Microsoft Windows that prevents patching the kernel. It was first introduced in 2005 with the x64 editions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1. [1]
