    I’m far from an expert, but Vanguard is a kernel-level program. If a kernel-level program crashed, the whole system crashes. So yes, any kernel-level program could do the same thing CrowdStrike did, intentionally or not.

    Kernel-level programs can do whatever the hell they want.

    Yup, kernel level “anti-cheat” is a rootkit spyware that “pinky swears” it’s only spying for a good reason.
