we will deliver a private preview of the Windows endpoint security platform to a set of MVI partners. The new Windows capabilities will allow them to start building their solutions to run outside the Windows kernel. This means security products like anti-virus and endpoint protection solutions can run in user mode just as apps do.

This does not mention anti cheat vendors, and is currently involving only a few AV vendors, but if this strategy works there might be a future without anti cheat drivers. This is a big "maybe", so don't get too excited yet.

    Cheating has getting worse and worse for the past decade.

    I hope something will work at some point.

    Hopefully this won’t make hundreds of games incompatible unless patched

    It’s likely this isn’t built with gaming in mind, it’s likely a response to the Crowdstrike crash a while back – doesn’t mean we can’t use it for anticheat tho.
