How about you do not spread misinformation? What even is this hot garbage of an article, everything here is written by hopes and rainbows, because for sure it isn't actually sourced correctly. You even got youtubers  tricked by this article and now there more than 600k+ views on this fabrication at the time I posted this comment. Just goes to show how far below the average of the IQ median is the average youtube content creator (looking at you Low Level Learning) that they don't even ensure the article they base their entire video on is itself actually source properly. And don't get me started on all the karma farmers on reddit too. Extremely disappointed, I expected better from a site of this caliber. Do better.

you really should learn how to read before posting utter fabrications. Literally nothing in this article is factual represenation.
Maybe next time, if you don't actually understand what's being discussed, don't write about it.

Removing kernel anti cheat will only cause problems in video games. Rampant cheating. Until a whole new solution can be made using AI to track players behavior, there is no reason to remove kernel level anti cheat. Anyone who says it's some kind of problem does not understand the situation. I would welcome a new solution to replace the current systems, of course, but until they are made and properly tested, any game would die within weeks of removal of their anti cheats.

a) not all bloatware
b) the more you remove the more bugs you will have with your software later
c) author of that script says he takes no responsibility for what it does
d) removing crap like Windows Defender and Update is hacky and it will be constantly trying to re-enable itself in the future

Very funny

It's not

I've now tasted Linux, and the next time I do a complete backup on my computer to get all my music in order, I'm ditching Windows for good.

I'm sick of dealing with the bloatware each time you do a fresh install and the fact that Microsoft keeps wanting to add ways to violate people's privacy (*cough cough COPILOT*).

Kernel-level access should've NEVER been given to programs, and while that sounds rather ignorant, you all now got to witness WHY. And I'd of thought we would've put a stop to this crap after the Sony rootkit debacle (remember that one? It was the DRM for CDs at the time...)

lmao you sound like it's not possible to remove all that bloatware and tracking in a minute after installing. Learn to code dumbo

Server Side Checks are too hard or too Performance expensive ig. I Developed many Cheats over the Last years you can Bypass every Client Side Anti-Cheat even Riot vanguard which you can actually Just replace with a custom Version lmao

FYI: the blog post this article links to is nothing more than a series of public relations wordsmithing with regards to some Windows enterprise security "summit" that focuses specifically on endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions.

please don't read up on nonsense like this.

Why not implement "server side" detection, similar to "EA fair play"? By tracking a user's game performance metrics and comparing them across the network of players, players with metrics outside the average can be further investigated / actioned.. This obviously wouldn't work if all a majority of the players were cheaters.. :D

Lmao, ignorance at its finest. It's funny that you go to the worst possible extreme because someone mentions that they'd rather not have what amounts to a root kit installed to their system just to play that one game.

There are people who could care less that Valorant is a good game, we aren't ever playing it because we don't EVER want a root kit to touch our system. It happened back in the 90s/ early 00s each time we ripped a Sony CD, and ended up teaching Sony that lesson. Who else we gotta teach via a lawsuit?? Apparently you.

Too little, too late, Microsoft.

considering Valorant had a bug that hard-killed your network connection because the anti-cheat just spammed the s*** out of it i'd probably worry about that more than it being "invasive"

it has too much access and it's proven that it can't handle it

Educate yourself you dumb phony faggot: wiki/Nothing_to_hide_argument
Anyone saying this is bad and that a corpo uses the kernel drivers for games which can be reversed by hackers to be used elsewhere like they did with the Genshin impact one can suck my kernel cock and seethe.
