    Hide all Microsoft services, DISABLE (uncheck) ALL other processes, apps and services !

    Cleanboot is just a one time clean boot ! Next reboot all will be reset and a normal boot will be occure.
    Use msconfig to disable apps permanent each for new reboot.
    DISABLE ALL other processes, apps and services from booting with windows, check instructions below:
    Use the keyboard shortcut “Windows Key + R” and the “Run” window will open.
    In the text box, typ MSCONFIG and press Enter or OK and the MsConfig window will open".
    Select the tab STARTUP (select OPEN TASK MANAGER), and disable apps/programs by right click at them!
    Those disabled apps will no longer boot with Windows , till ya set them enabled again !

    EAC INSTALL / REPAIR

    If ya still get EAC issues then do this:
    Press the Windows key + 'E' to open File Explorer.
    Press ALT key, select Tools > Folder Options > View, then check Show hidden files, folders, and drives.
    Navigate to the following location C:\\Program Files(x86)\EasyAntiCheat\ and delete the files:

    Navigate to C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming
