This detection leads to launch errors in games like Rust because anti-cheat systems do not allow drivers capable of low-level input modification to run in the background. Additionally, cheating tools can exploit Interception.exe for macros, automated inputs, or recoil scripts, making it incompatible with games that enforce strict anti-cheat measures. If you’re encountering this error, the most effective solution is to completely uninstall the Interception driver.
Before You Begin
A few important notes before proceeding:
Backup any important configurations: If you use macros or custom key-mapping tools that rely on Interception.exe, they will stop working after removal.Administrator rights are required: These steps involve system-level changes, so ensure you’re using an account with admin privileges.Prepare for a restart: Changes will only take effect after rebooting your system.
How to Completely Uninstall Interception.exe Using the GitHub Script
The Interception driver integrates deeply into Windows and cannot be removed by simply deleting its files. To ensure a full removal, including registry entries, use the official GitHub uninstallation script:
This process completely removes Interception.exe from your system, eliminating its entries from Windows and preventing anti-cheat programs from detecting it.
If That Doesn’t Work: Disable Run as Administrator for Rust
Some users have reported that Rust fails to launch when its executables run with elevated privileges while anti-cheat systems are active. Running as administrator increases access permissions, which can cause anti-cheat systems to treat the program as suspicious. If the error still persists after uninstalling Interception.exe and adjusting permissions, the problem may be due to corrupted or mismatched game files. In that case, performing a clean reinstall of Rust is the final step.
