Re: [PC] EAC Policy Violated

@EA_Barry Hello Barry!

Thank you for the tip. I dont use that perticular software. And I dont think I use any software like it either.

This is why I tried to start the PC with a "Clean boot" to remove every software and service that wasnt from Microsoft, just in case there were some incompatibility.

No luck so far though.

Thanks!

@JustChifferreboot pc by a clean boot:
