Wait, wasn’t Vanguard coming in form of a driver? I don’t use Windows and don’t play games with intrusive software requirements, but I believe I saw someone installing it and showing how it works on YouTube, and if I don’t misremember it, it was in fact a virtual device driver, not just a fully privileged process.

Yup, I seem to remember the same thing and I also seem to remember it being loaded at boot. Iirc you can stop it when the system has started and you've logged in but then you have to reboot in order for it to load again so you can plain. But same, I also don't use windows and haven't played leaugh for many many years.

I haven't really used it because I don't play any games that require it but my understanding is that it just installs itself as a required program but you can just go into program manage and turn that off because you don't have to have it and I think if it's not running starting the game should then cause the program to run.

If not you can just set up a script to do it anyway so I can't see why it wouldn't work like that.
