My brother claims that Vanguard for League can do the same to gaming PCs that install it as CrowdStrike did to businesses who installed that, is this true? Does Vanguard have as much access/power? (lemm.ee)

One important thing about CS was that it's also marked as a boot-start driver. That flag tells the OS that it can't boot without it no matter what happens, aside from safe mode, and iirc if your driver doesn't have that flag, which drivers probably shouldnt have, from how I understand it if such a boot loop would happen due to a faulty non-boot-start driver, the system will recognize that and simply disable it.
