Apex Legends won't start after EasyAntiCheat loading (Windows 11)

Hello everyone! So I installed Windows 11 (2 days ago) and I started having this problem with Apex : I launch Origin, then I launch the game, the "EasyAntiCheat" loading starts, finishes, but then n...

    EasyAntiCheat is currently not working in Windows 11.  Tried it with many different games.  Sadly only way to get them working is revert to windows 10, no game reinstall required, we just have to wait for the devs to get to the issue.

    @PutPut96 did you find anything by any chance?

    @Lpporsuk Nothing from EA Help. The customer service rep said they would contact a more specialized person about it, but no one has contacted me.

    One of my friends suggested uninstalling and re-installing Windows...so maybe I'll give that a shot soon. Seems risky though.

    FINALLY fixed this, the issue comes down to their hastily implemented "new" anticheat they added 2~ weeks ago. It is not liking a certain driver or program installed BUT they did not code it to show the user which driver or program(LOL). The way I fixed this was to download Autoruns from Microsoft and removed everything unverified under the drivers and services tabs. There will be drivers for old stuff that can be removed and a lot of this is time consuming looking up each driver, it will not allow deletion of MS drivers or anything important from what I can tell. Before doing this it would be ideal to make a system restore point just in case.

    Adding image for context. I had tons of old stuff from old motherboards, old anti cheats, old software. I removed everything unknown and only kept what devices I currently still use. It is basically mandatory that they update their coding to pass the information to the user so they know WHICH DRIVER is being flagged as a problem. Please EA.

    @Xecuter2-_-TTV I used AutoRuns to delete the items marked pink in the driver bar. When I entered the game, my account was banned

    @xyp9xCS It's not possible to get banned when deleting drivers or cleaning up your system... Sounds like you were caught cheating but you can message EA and see what they say.

    @Xecuter2-_-TTV Players who used the same method as me also received a ban, but some of them have restored their accounts. After I contacted EA help, they insisted that I was cheating. It's ridiculous. I started playing this game in 2019. Even though the PC platform was full of cheaters at that time, I played it until my account was banned. I was really disappointed with EA. I have given up this game and all EA games.

    @Xecuter2-_-TTV of course, I know that deleting a driver cannot receive a ban, so I will delete this driver. But in fact, after deleting a driver, I will receive a ban
