And that's the problem, like CrowdStrike Vanguard will update itself in the background unlike your GPU driver which you need to go through an update process explicitly, so if the same thing happens where they pushed a bad update, the same outcome of causing failed boots without prompt could happen.

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.

What non algorith streaming sites are there? The reason these people appear to be in the majority is because most people who agree wont post " i agree with the protests" under those yea but windows amd etc get through the microsoft driver signing wich is the process where microsoft checks if the drivernis broken or not. The crowdstrike driver got its updates via microcode. Think off the driver as a engine that runs code from a file. The druver was signed but the code it exevuted was broken. I dont know how vanguard handels updates but i guess they take a similar approach as crowdstroke did and only got their "engine" signed but kot the actual code that the driver executes. Else they need to resign their driver every time they donupdates and that wouöd be costry and slow.
