Throttle Stop Problem WinRing0.dll

Hey yall, this problem bugged me for a while when it suddenly appeared around a week ago but I found a solution. When I restarted my laptop today I received a notification from Riot's anticheat Vanguard for the game Valorant, and it indicated that it blocked this specific WinRing0.dll file because it claims this to be unsafe.

Uninstalling Riot Vanguard fixed this issue for me. Hope this works for you guys.

Okay so I downloaded a new Nividia Graphics driver and suddenly when I restart my computer this error came up. I have had this error before and I have windows defender on. I've tried OpenHardwareMonitor and EVGA Precision X1 and nothing works.
I have the same problem, i tried everything
 
@tberz9 - FACE IT anti-cheat software or Riot Vanguard anti-cheat software used by Valorant might be blocking the WinRing0 driver.

What Windows build are you running? Some of the Insider Preview builds will block WinRing0. Both my computers with Windows 10 version 1903 and Windows 10 version 1909 and both running Windows Defender do not have any problems with WinRing0.

If you do not have any games installed and think Windows Defender might be the problem, try temporarily installing the free version of Avast antivirus.

Anti-cheat, anti-virus and Windows updates change by the day. Hard to keep up with all of the changes.
