I remember reading that Microsoft is trying to crack down on kernel level anti-cheats. Just like anti-virus, they mess with the operating system on a deep level, redirecting/intercepting API calls, sometimes on undocumented and unstable internal APIs.

Not only does this present a huge security risk, it can break existing software and the OS itself. These anti-cheats tend not to be written by people intimately familiar with Windows kernel development, and they cause regressions in existing software which the users then blame on Windows.

That's why Microsoft did Windows Defender and tried to kill off 3rd party anti-virus.

> Speaking of Anti-Cheat and secure boot, you need SB for Battlefield 6. The game won't start without it. So it's happening!

I'm curious, does anyone know how exactly they check for this? How was it actually made unspoofable?

Lack of cheating in BF6?

Afaik there have been wallhacks and aimbots since the open beta.
