ezst036 Reduce gaming performance eh? *This is me looking at SteamOS* In other thoughts, I hope further integrity pushes lead to Microsoft kicking kernel level anti-cheat solutions to the curb. Less is more when it comes to true security of people's personal PII data. Admin said: PCs that already have Memory Integrity deliberately disabled will retain their existing configuration For now. But that statement has an expiration date. Microsoft has long since weaponized Windows Update in order to force people into Edge, Bing, start men advertisements, AI/Copilot junk nobody wants, and other settings people are setting but then later discovering, it was reverted back. Windows Update has become one of the most despised systems within the OS because of all this. Microsoft is a bully. Bullies are gonna bully. That's just what they do that's just what Microsoft is. A shark is a shark, a mosquito is a mosquito. They do the things you predict they are going to do. It is in their nature. Reply

Especially when they’re running 10 RGB softwares which all have ring 0 access Reply
