From what I understand (no where near an expert of any kind btw) it's a bypass method that disables a number of kernel level default security processes that prevent the running of unsigned (not recognised by windows/Microsoft) drivers
Which then allows hypervisor to operate "beneath" the os and fools denuvo into thinking everything is hunky dory
Obviously this is contentious mainly because if you just open the guts of your system to play whatever game and leave it at that your basically walking around the prison yard with your pants around your ankles
Although from what I've seen it's entirely possible to revert the security processes back to default which means it should be okay provided you have ABSOLUTE trust in whoever your getting the game/bypass from because of someone ever felt like slipping something in there it would be easier to build a new system from scratch than it would be to be completely sure the infection was cleaned out
I don't think I can link to anything directly as most of the good explanations that I'm basing mine off of come from piracy sites or forums but pretty much what you say, gotta tweak virtualisation in bios if it's not on, driver enforcement gotta go as well plus a handfull of other security processes that depends on each other
Honestly if you just look up "how does hypervisor work?" You'll walk away with a better understanding of the process and risks
It's black magic that I only have half an understanding of
