Microsoft added anti-cheating tools to Windows 10

Along with the release of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update version earlier last week, Microsoft also quietly launched anti-fraud tool in the game, similar to Valve's VAC system in Win 10.

Called TruePlay, this new anti-fraud system is a set of APIs (application programming interfaces) that game developers can use to detect fraudsters in their games.

TruePlay works by allowing developers to create games that run in a protected process, automatically reducing certain types of attacks like aimbot or wallhack.

In addition, TruePlay also provides external Windows services to monitor game sessions for common behaviors and actions in fraudulent situations.

If fraud is detected, TruePlay can display notifications to players. It will also collect anonymous user data and send it to the game developer for a decision on sanctions.

Note: TruePlay is only available for games developed with UWP (Universal Windows Platform) technology.

Because of privacy reasons related to monitoring user games, TruePlay is turned off in the default Windows settings, so users will have to access the Settings app and click TruePlay to enable them. This feature.
