> guarantees it will be loaded before any other third party drivers

Point of information. "Guarantee" and "any" are unsubstantiated by that MS article.




If we are being pedantic then an ELAM driver can't be guaranteed to load before another ELAM driver of course, but only a small list of vetted vendors are able to sign ELAM drivers so it is very unlikely that malware would be able to gain that privilege. That's the whole point.


Not pedantic. Just accurate.
