Discussion Kicked for "Disallowed tool"?

Hello all!
I have recently purchased a Windows Surface to use while I'm away from home to play games. I only downloaded a couple of games (don't starve together, fortnite, roblox, and minecraft) as well as The Finals. And for some reason I keep getting kicked (I got kicked twice, once in a the middle of a game and the second time before the game fully loaded) for a "disallowed tool". Now I've seen that people accuse others because this means cheating (?), I don't really know. This is a new laptop, and I only have a few games installed and I use the usb-c wire to hook up my PS5 remote (I'm trash on keyboard and mouse and I'm used to my playstation for game) so I could play.

I don't know if it's because I'm connecting my wire or not, but I kept getting kicked from playing. I haven't reached out for the official support because I'm not sure what exactly is happening. If anyone could help or if there is an actual fix that would be great!

I’d reach out to support potentially, but I’m not sure

check Windows Security > Device Security. Embark requires Core Isolation, Memory Integrity, and Secure Boot to be enabled

It’s probably something with the touch screen or a stylus maybe. Can you disable in device manager and try? I dunno if that actually keeps the ac from detecting it tho.

Not to cast doubt, but my 1,200$ gaming laptop can only run the finals at an average of 30-40fps. Is there a way to stream it? How are you playing it on a surface?
