Root Cause
Windows root certificate store (trusted CA list) was outdated / corrupted.
Easy Anti-Cheat could not validate EA’s server certificate → handshake timed out.
Conclusion
This problem was not caused by the PC, antivirus or network.
The true cause was a broken Windows root certificate trust store.
Re-populating the trust root list fixed the Easy Anti-Cheat handshake instantly.
