Riot Games lets Valorant and League players toggle anti-cheat on demand
Riot Games introduces Vanguard Pre-Check, allowing players with compatible hardware to switch the kernel-level anti-cheat from always-on to on-demand mode. The feature requires opting into pre-boot security mechanisms and Windows native protections. This change addresses long-standing privacy concerns about Vanguard's persistent operation.

The move balances security and user control, but the hardware and opt-in requirements limit its impact for most players.
