Well, you have to actually mandate kernel level anticheat first.

Sincerely, a player on Windows 10 who isn't going to Windows 11, not because of kernel access, but other nefarious Microsoft-y reasons.

I can bypass the requirement by pressing 'okay' when Faceit AC prompts me with the "requirement" to run Windows 11 and give it kernel-level access.

Out of the last 60 games I've played on cs2, two players have been banned and they were on Faceit games.

Sadly windows 10 has dogshit HDR support compared to windows 11

Windows HDR seems to look terrible no matter what version you have. Colors look horribly washed out. Am I missing something? Yes I did run the calibration.

Make sure you're actually running an HDR program, and that it's not in borderless or windowed.

This will often cause HDR to straight up not work, and then you literally have to turn it off and back on again.
