Do you really have to re-install windows to bypass HWID ban?

I followed this really thorough guide and I did a lot of stuff: Uninstalled PUBG and Steam, cleared all traces of it from the appropriate folders and the registry, changed my drive's serial number, changed the HWIDs of every other piece of hardware, edited more registry keys, changed MAC address, made a new Windows user, and used a VPN to get a new IP.

It still detected me somehow and banned me just minutes after starting the game (was in Training match with bots, no cheats on).

If we re-install windows, do we have to use a different Windows activation key? What information does PUBG look for when it comes to your operating system, exactly?

What I don't get is how there's people who say that doing all of what I did worked for them, and some even only had to change the name of their GPU or SSD in the registry and supposedly made it work. Why isn't working for me?

I just wanna know what re-installing Windows does that spoofing your hardware serials doesn't.

But I did spoof my HWIDs. That's what I'm saying. And I also did change a couple of registry keys pertaining to Windows. I followed this guide: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

But what you recommended is exactly what I did. I spoofed my HWIDs. Only manually, but it's the same thing. What would an automatic HWID spoofer do differently?

I suppose re-installing Windows would seal the deal, though?

If someone who recently bypassed a PUBG hardware ban could shed some light on this and tell me the exact steps they took, then that would also help a lot.

Thank you.

you should reinstall windows for games like valorant or cod

Wouldn't a better alternative to all this be blocking BattleEye instead? Because if BattleEye can't access system information, then it won't know my device has been banned and therefore won't issue any bans. Is this even possible?

BE runs kernel level. So it got access to everything.

Kernel mode, also known as system mode, is one of the central processing unit (CPU) operating modes. While processes run in kernel mode, they have unrestricted access to the hardware.

Yes, because many games like apex legends and EFT leave trace files

You only changed volumeID and not the actual drive's serial number, the same goes for the mac address, changing it from usermode isn't gonna do anything, the tutorial that u followed is completely useless basically, my advice is to get an actual spoofer.

Reformatting windows seems to be the only thing required

no doesnt require it

Re-installing windows helps because then there is no risk of registry keys that you forgot, or something you dont know of.

But you need to re-install windows AND use a hwid changer + TMAC for changing mac address.

Thats what works for me.

Its preferable but there are defiantly some ways around it, but it will require more time and resources

Can u send links of the hwid changer and Mac changer u used please
