Windows 10: Is Riot Vanguard causing my computer to restart?

For the past couple of months, I have been getting PC restarts. Changing the settings to make the PC not restart only makes it completely freeze. Today I tried the minidump method, and I uploaded them to OneDrive.

I also took a look at them myself using the WinDbg tool - two of the minidumps pointed towards Riot Vanguard. Am I correct here? Should I just uninstall Riot Vanguard and Valorant for a while and see if that was indeed the issue?

BSOD on shutdown and restarts

Its called riot vanguard. People were saying its a rootkit anti cheat software. Not quite sure what that means.

The most probable cause of the BSODs is the Vanguard anti-cheat driver. It's implicated in four of the five dumps. The other crash was a nonspecific memory corruption.
