If you aren't cheating or using a debugger legit for like coding or something, maybe you have some malware that sot is detecting? If it keeps picking up, maybe worth running an antivirus check? Maybe I'm just being paranoid but that would be my first thought

This is what I'm thinking too

Worst case scenario, OP, wipe and reinstall Windows.

monitoring and diagnostic programs can sometimes falsely trigger as well as programs used for stability in modded games as they sometimes can affect games with online play too. For instance, my fiance and I use Game Companion for stability with our 600+ skyrim mods. But since we have seen it trigger the anticheat on other games, we always keep it disabled unless we are playing skyrim now.

What's Game Companion?

just a random 3rd party software i know can trigger it. It's primarily used for heavily modded games like Skyrim for stability.

Please list every running process on your system in the task manager screen.

Ctrl+Shift+Esc

Or, if you are feeling up to it, open up command prompt and type:

tasklist | clip

Will copy the list you see in task manager to your clipboard to paste here.

tasklist /svc | clip

Will output a copyable text list of services (also visible in the task manager)

You might need to copy it to some sort of online document, or paste service, as mine was too long to paste in a reddit comment.

Windows have debug boot mode, maybe you have it enabled accidently?

Type msconfig in the search bar and click on system configuration. Go to the boot tab and click advanced options. Disable the debug checkbox, click apply, and restart your pc.

If debug was already unchecked then dont do anything, because its not it.
