## Remarks
1818

19-
The **/DYNAMICBASE** option modifies the header of an *executable image*, a .dll or .exe file, to indicate whether the application should be randomly rebased at load time, and enables virtual address allocation randomization, which affects the virtual memory location of heaps, stacks, and other operating system allocations. The **/DYNAMICBASE** option applies to both 32-bit and 64-bit images. ASLR is supported on Windows Vista and later operating systems. The option is ignored by earlier operating systems.

By default, **/DYNAMICBASE** is enabled. To disable this option, use **/DYNAMICBASE:NO**. The **/DYNAMICBASE** option is required for the [/HIGHENTROPYVA](highentropyva-support-64-bit-aslr.md) option to have an effect.

This option is not supported for Arm32 or Arm64 architectures.

Because ASLR can't be disabled on ARM, ARM64, or ARM64EC architectures, **`/DYNAMICBASE:NO`** isn't supported for these targets.
