Keep getting kicked by VAC

[Mik4sa]

Hi guys,

first of all, I'm ofcourse not cheating :)
So, I keep getting kicked by VAC due to connection lost or something (3rd time this week).
I was never able to rejoin the match. The day before yesterday I got kicked first and received a 30 minutes ban. Yesterday I got kicked aswell (also on inferno) but was able (don't know why or how) to rejoin the match after some time. Today I got kicked again and was not able to rejoin and just received a 2 hour ban.

At this point, good job VAC. Kicking people due to connection lost to VAC and then banning because we can't rejoin. You should definitely only ban someone if they left on there own or maybe when I turn off there internet (so when they get kicked due to connection lost to the server (not VAC)).

Ofcourse I tried multiple times the step steam told me on there website which is opening after the problem appears.

On there website they wrote that the following problems could cause that problem:
CCleaner
Cheat Engine
IObit Start Menu 8
Process Hacker
DLL Injectors
Powershell

I'm using CCleaner and Cheat Engine, but as of yesterday before starting the game I closed CCleaner and uninstalled Cheat Engine, Powershell is preinstalled on Windows 10.

So, here a list of programs I'm running while playing CSGO:
GeForece Experience and Shadowplay
Voicemeeter
Spotify
Bitdefender Total Security 2017 (if you need to know which settings I have, just tell me though)
KoneXTDMonitor (Program from Roccat for my mouse)
Overwolf (but closed before I started CSGO)
And a self developed program which is just waiting for a mute of my default output audio device and when the volume is muted it also mutes all other output devices to 0% (and ofcourse also in the other direction).

This might be the most important.

After getting kicked I completly disabled my anti virus and the firewall. Couldn't reconnect.

Anyone has any ideas how to fix that or what I can check?

Search google for VAC auth error.
You need to do some lines in cmd prompt to fix it probably.

Have you tried putting this in your CMD?

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns

I know that's for another problem but it could still work . :P

So, you run VoiceMeeter in 2016 and didn't get Vac Banned? Can you confirm this?

Note - I Will place a *, where the solution is already here - in the Steam Support Page.

Possible Solutions to this
1. Restore boot settings to default - *
   Close Steam and Check the system
   Go to CMD ( Open it as Admin ) and type this down:
   

   bcdedit /deletevalue nointegritychecks
   bcdedit /deletevalue loadoptions
   bcdedit /debug off
   bcdedit /deletevalue nx

   Restart your PC.
   
2. Repair system files - * ( But this is the correct way to do it )
   Close Steam and Check the system
   Go to CMD ( Open it as Admin ) and type this down:
   

   Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
   Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
   DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
   SFC /scannow

   Restart your PC.
   If errors were found, do it one more time.
   
3. Clean your IP DNS as told Above:

   Note : I edited his post in order to fit the correct order. Since it's better to release and then flushdns, than after the renew.
   
4. Close Steam and purge it by going to its installation folder and deleting everything except for this ( Remember to enable "View hidden Files" ):
   
   • Folders : "config", "steamapps", "userdata"
   • Files : Both starting "ssfn*", "Steam.exe" and "uninstall.exe"
   Open Steam and it will redownload itself.
   Note: You can also purge it a bit more by deleting this folder :

   %LOCALAPPDATA%/Steam

   Remember to keep Steam Close in order to let you delete files.
   
5. Close Steam and Repair Steam Service - * ( Just the first method is explained in the Support Page )
   
   1. Go to CMD ( Open it as Admin ) and type this down:
      Navigate to your steam folder

      CD <name of folder> to access a folder
      CD .. to quit that folder

      then enter to bin folder and type:

      SteamService.exe /repair

      You probably did this if you follow the guide posted by Steam.
      
   2. On Windows Explorer : Go to Steam folder, go inside Bin folder. You will see "steamservice.exe" and "steamservice.dll", copy them. Then go to:
      If you are on a 32 Bits OS - %PROGRAMFILES%/Common Files/Steam
      If you are on a 64 Bits OS - %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%/Common Files/Steam
      Delete the files inside and paste the files you just copy.
6. Last, but not less important - Update Windows
   Check for updates. If you are not on Win 10, update drivers by hand as well.
