Windows Defender - Kernel Mode Stack Protection

[Firegod]

Hey, I'd like to try and enable this Core Isolation feature but it has said that easyanticheat.exe, part of Epic Games, is incompatible (Driver version 6.0.0.0).

Is there a way to update this, or do I need to reach out to Epic support?

Thanks!

I don't think so.

You can either have a more secure system by enabling that feature, or use software that requires kernel level anti-cheat like Easy Anti-Cheat or BattleEye - not both.

Damn so I guess how do I get rid of Easy Anti-Cheat?

Uninstall the game that installed it.

Or you can remove the service from your system. From an Administrator PowerShell prompt type:

Get-Service EasyAntiCheat_EOS | Remove-Service

Once you've done that it will clear the block on enabling Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection; but obviously any games you play which depend on Easy Anti-Cheat it will no longer work.
