![]() ![]() Also the fact that it runs at startup means that if it was hacked there is no way to avoid it as every time you would boot up your pc you would also boot up vanguard. This is the exact same reason why vanguard had so much backlash back when valorant was released, because it posed security issues as - lets say a hacker finds a way into vanguard then they can control everything from any users pc by pretending to be vanguard running whatever they want through it, as they have full permissions from vanguard at kernel level. The reason why vanguard does not require mem integrity to be off is because it is installed on the kernel level (windows core operating components run here) as such they automatically have all permissions, as they are regarded as a component that allows your windows to run without issue meaning it can do its anti-cheat service at pretty much windows operating system level bypassing the setting to be turned off for a higher level application Without memory integrity running, the "security guard" stands right out in the open where it's much easier for an attacker to interfere with or sabotage the guard, making it easier for malicious code to sneak past and cause problems. When memory integrity is comfortable that the code is safe it hands the code back to Windows to run. A program that wants to run a piece of code which may be dangerous has to pass the code to memory integrity inside that virtual booth so that it can be verified. This isolated environment (the locked booth in our analogy) prevents the memory integrity feature from being tampered with by an attacker. Think of it like a security guard inside a locked booth. Memory integrity works by creating an isolated environment using hardware virtualization. ![]() I saw a thread about this, but I haven't seen a clear explanation on why disabling memory integrity is necessary or worth the risk. ![]()
