Important Note:

Disabling or uninstalling anti-cheat software may prevent you from playing online multiplayer games. Most games will require these services to be running to allow you to connect to online servers. Disabling these systems could also lead to a ban or suspension from certain game platforms if detected. Always ensure you understand the risks before proceeding.
