kernel dependence
About this tag
Discussions on WindowsForum.com about kernel dependence focus on the security implications of deep kernel access by third-party security tools. Threads highlight how Windows 11 25H2 aims to reduce kernel dependence by moving security features to user-mode APIs, addressing risks like system instability from kernel-level errors. The CrowdStrike incident is cited as an example of the dangers of kernel dependence, where a faulty kernel driver can crash the entire OS. Users explore how Microsoft's shift toward kernel-less threat protection could improve system stability while maintaining security, though some question the trade-offs for real-time protection and behavior monitoring.
