Video games with anti cheats don't normally run as admin. A service on windows is created by requesting admin once when installing the anti cheat, so that the service with a kernel driver can be loaded without admin.

Furthermore, it's funny when people cry about how kernel anticheats are invading their privacy. These anticheats are better secured and protected than 99% of the drivers for windows, which are FULL of kernel elevation exploits. Absolutely filled to brink. I could go into it more, but this thread isn't the place.
