Latest update on windows 10 and 11 has blocked this driver; at least as far as i know, older versions of it. Computer booted and windows stated it blocked ssgdio64.sys, because it is vulnerable. It was installed by "Thaiphoon Burner" by Showshock Sofnology, which I used to detect ram modules. Website, softnology(dot)biz
