Shows why Kernel level anti cheat is a bad idea. No Anti cheat software should have this much power over your system.
As somebody who games on a VM, good. Easy Anti-Cheat has become an immediate no-go unless it’s a friend group game. I’m not dedicated a whole PC for that garbage and dual-booting for it is a PITA. Microsoft should have left it unpatched and made them fix their shit.
