Visual C++ Redistributable (2015-2022)
Most loaders are built against it. Missing it is the usual cause of a loader that opens and closes immediately with no message.
Utilities
Set your PC up once.
Most products expect the same few tools and Windows settings. Your product guide is still the one to follow — this is here so you can prepare before you buy, and so nothing on this list is a surprise at midnight.
Tools
Every link goes to the vendor’s own site. Navorra does not host, bundle or mirror any of them.
DirectX End-User Runtime
Supplies the older DirectX libraries overlays draw with. Windows does not install these on its own.
7-Zip
Opens the password-protected archives most loaders ship in. Windows' own extractor cannot.
Defender Control
Turns Defender's real-time protection off while you launch, and back on afterwards. Windows turns it back on by itself after a restart.
Windows Driver Kit (WDK)
A few external products need it present before their driver will load. Your guide will say so if yours does.
Npcap
Some DMA tools read network traffic through it. Install it only if your guide asks for it.
Windows settings
No download for these. Your guide will say which of them your product needs; turn off only what it asks for.
Memory Integrity / Core Isolation - off
Windows Security → Device security → Core isolation. It blocks unsigned drivers from loading, which is most of them. A restart is needed.
Vulnerable Driver Blocklist - off
Windows Security → Device security → Core isolation. Sits directly below Memory Integrity and blocks the same drivers.
Secure Boot - off
Changed in the BIOS, not in Windows. Some products need it off; others work with it on. Follow your guide rather than turning it off by default.
Exploit protection - ASLR settings
Windows Security → App & browser control → Exploit protection. A few DMA products want bottom-up and high-entropy ASLR enabled.
Remove conflicting anti-cheat and antivirus
FACEIT AC, Vanguard and third-party antivirus have to be uninstalled, not just closed. Left installed, nothing else on this list will help.
