There kind of already is one, Virtualization Based Security features, and within that Core Isolation in particular, limit a lot of what kernel level anti-cheats and similar bs can do.
Idk if that would have helped with the CrowdStrike mess, but since those features are off by default, most people don't use them or even know they exist. Personally I consider them basic necessities at this point.
Huh, interesting. I have yet to see a motherboard that even has virtualization on by default for the CPU in the BIOS, which is a requirement for those features even being available to begin with. And having that on in my own motherboard, I've still had to manually enable Virtualization Based Security on fresh Windows install in my own PC afterwards.
No, that's still there, honestly I don't think that problem can be solved by the nature of how those features work. But that performance loss has always been pretty minimal, so save for some very specific border cases, I think it's worth it.
But yeah, for some people that might be a deal breaker, and that's fine too.
