Vanguard, riots anti-cheat, was one of the worst kernel anti-cheats system I had the displeasure if being forced to use.

My buddies started to play Valorant and they asked me to give it a try. I downloaded and installed it.

First major issue: Must start on boot and has to be running at all times. If you close it, you have to reboot the entire machine to play Valorant.

Second issue: (This has been fixed) All my VMs stopped working. I couldn't start any of them in my VMware Workstation.

Uninstalled Vanguard and Valorant shortly after. There should no reason an anti-cheats needs to run on boot.
