However, there is a kernel-mode driver for the system that loads when you boot into Windows. Riot claims that it needs this since some cheating software uses kernel-mode drivers to evade detection.

KDP works by taking the kernel memory mark as read-only and moving it inside a VBS "virtual secure mode," where it can't be tampered with, even by the operating system itself.

Accordingly, modern operating systems all depend on a broad concept called virtual memory. Virtual memory systems allow both programs and the kernels themselves to operate in a simple, clean ...
