Vanguard is blocking core monitoring tools (CPU and GPU) preventing my machine from functioning properly. I have an R7 3700X on an ROG X570-E mobo.
Vanguard seems to take issue with the hardware-level monitoring that Ryzen Master (and CPU-Z as I also found) requires in order to work, and so it blocks these processes from initialising and prevents them from starting again. By exiting Vanguard, you will subsequently need to reinstall the application (e.g. remove and then install Ryzen Master again) in order for it to work without uninstalling Vanguard. MSI Afterburner (notably the monitoring via RTSS) is also broken now too. RTCore64.sys was blocked by Vanguard and now will not load, which is a core process needed for MSI AB to read device information. I have no GPU monitoring or control now, because of Vanguard.
This issue needs to be urgently addressed because this overly-aggressive and intrusive Anti-Cheat is preventing my system from functioning normally because it is preventing other software from monitoring the hardware of my machine. Did NOBODY think to check these things?
