That's why even I was on Windows, I would avoid Kernel level anticheat.
I know anticheat is important but I wish there was ways to prevent cheaters without running stuff in lower rings.

    Microsoft just needs to start kicking shit out of the Kernel. Allowing any of it is inherently insecure on a fundamental level.

    They won't, at least not for a very long time, because they deeply resist breaking changes, even when they are a net benefit.

    I think they are working towards getting everything out of the kernel though, ever since that Crowdstrike outage.

    They are.

    Drivers with known security vulnerabilities are blocked from loading in Windows 11.

    This is functionality of the core isolation / memory integrity protection, which rely on Secure Boot and TPM to function.
