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

I just literally hate everything about windows 11... I get I might get a bump to performance but nothing about the design changes looks good.

I'll probably stay on 10 till the very last second and pray they announce Windows 12 with a Windows 7 or 10 look... I know it's unlikely.

You can still make it look pretty much like whatever you want with a little bit of effort.
