Hey, I’ve really been wanting to play Valorant, but their ‘kernal-mode anticheat’ really worries me. Would playing on a different user profile be enough to stop it from checking out everything on my main profile?
That’s the question really

I don’t think kernel based anything would not have access to all profiles.
Might as well use that gaming machine as a dedicated computer for gaming and maybe get a laptop or another computer for a more secure and private use case.
Your best bet would probably be a separate operating system on an encrypted drive/partition so that you’re not simply relying on any form of software access control (which likely wouldn’t apply to something running at the lowest level). I don’t think a whole separate computer is necessary, but it certainly is a valid strategy.
if you have a console play it on that instead
I have been considering console but it requires an account be it Xbox/Playstation/Nintendo(?) and you can still make a Windows installation that is local only. This is sort of invalidated if you are playing something like Minecraft or subscribe to PSN, and/or the XBox Game Pass (does Nintendo even have an equivalent?).
What matters is that it is isolated in its network
