# 5. Disabling Anti-Cheat

To disable all anti-cheat software on your PC, follow these steps:

1. Open the system configuration by pressing Win+R, typing "msconfig," and then pressing Enter.
2. Navigate to the "Services" tab.
3. Check the box that says "Hide all Microsoft services."
4. Look through the list for anti-cheat software such as Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye.
5. Uncheck the boxes next to the anti-cheat services.
6. Click on "Apply."
7. Restart your PC to apply the changes.

For games like Valorant (Riot Vanguard), ESEA, and FaceIT, the uninstallation process is a bit different. You will need to go to the "Apps & Programs" section in the Windows settings and completely uninstall them. These particular anti-cheat programs are known to be highly invasive and may prevent certain drivers from loading.<br>
