This has been known for years and it’s not different from the behavior of EAC, whether it’s good or bad.
Except that EAC doesn’t have to run from startup and can be started on demand. Vanguard has to run all the time.
But yeah, Vanguards shitty behavior is known since its inception.
This. An always-on rootkit is worlds different in terms of privacy and security than most conventional ones like EAC.
(Not like conventional ACs are good for these things either, of course. But it is many degrees less invasive.)
Technically you can also start it on demand, you just need to reboot before and after 😅
Take my angry upvote 😄
While you are technically correct, this is a massive PITA to turn off manually every single boot and rebooting just to play a game isn’t very fun, ha. (It also breaks linux, where I play.)
Yea, I agree it’s not worth it…
Fair point!
