Microsoft has been speaking with game developers about how to reduce the amount of kernel usage
The CrowdStrike fiasco was finally enough for Microsoft to look at forcing drivers out of the kernel. This is absolutely a good thing and will hopefully lead to a more stable Windows.
I’m a Linux user, and while that would also be win for me, I’d be really happy for Windows users to finally stop having what amounts to a rootkit and spyware combined, to have to play games.
do anticheat count as antivirus? if so thats really good news.
i mean anticheat is doing very similar things to antivirus software.
No. But, from the article:

Probably doesn’t count, but I bet that Anti-cheat will be next, if it works.
i hope it is!
