!!! success "Fixed in upcoming release"
For Atlas v0.3.0, the `kprocesshacker2` driver won't be used at all.

AME Wizard currently uses an old version of the driver `kprocesshacker2`, belonging to the popular alternative to Task Manager called [Process Hacker](https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/). It is used to do certain actions with full privileges, like kill processes. This driver is commonly blocked by anticheats due to its unrestricted access to Windows.

Although AME Wizard should normally clean up its version of Process Hacker, sometimes parts of the driver can be left behind, preventing certain games or anticheats from starting.
