Riot now lets you enable its anti-cheat when you want to

Riot Games has announced the release of Vanguard On-Demand. This update allows players to manually activate the anti-cheat software only when they are actively playing the game, rather than having it run continuously in the background.

Coverage from The Verge, Shane the Gamer, The Tech Buzz, and Riot Games highlights the shift toward user-controlled software management. Reports note that this development involves collaboration with Microsoft.

Future developments will depend on the integration of the on-demand feature across Riot’s platforms. It remains to be seen how this operational change will impact system-wide security requirements.
