    Huh, seems like you’re right:

    Riot Vanguard is an on-boot application. That means if you do choose to disable it and later decide you’d like to play VALORANT, you will have to restart your computer.

    I guess, it’s only user-space drivers which Windows can load at runtime then?
    At least, I’m hoping that’s a technical limitation of Windows. Otherwise, this is fucking stupid.

    Well, it always is fucking stupid, but it would be even more so.
