    @VoidMandoMain @dalpyash I actually went through the effort to figure out what DBUtilDrv2.sys is referring to. It's the driver for some Dell PC bloatware that EAC has blacklisted, since it is a privilage escalation vulnerability (CVE-2024-52535). It affects versions of the home eddition up to 4.6.1 iirc.
