Easy anti cheat preventing game launch

So I just got a brand new laptop. Brand brand new 2022 Zephyrus g15 with good specs 3060 ti amd ryzen 6000 9. I was doing good at first setting it up and downloaded apex, fortnite. I tried to open fortnite and it asked me to allow easy anti cheat permissions to change the device settings and blah blah. I said yes. My computer froze immediately after. The whole screen everything. Even unplugging charger didn't change in the corner. I forced shut down and opened fortnite again. Allowed easy anti cheat permission to make changes. Frozen again. Then I did the same with apex. Multiple times allowing EAC permissions and it would crash 5 seconds after forcing me to force shutdown. I ensured all drivers of everything and bios were upgraded prior to installing anything. Nvidia is updated. I know in my heart EAC is the problem. I did repair and reinstall/Uninstaller services for it in EAC setup launcher and it still didn't work. I Uninstaller Apex from EA and did it through steam. Still did not work. I'm able to play other games and run the computer fine on anything else not using EAC. Roblox, brawlhalla, CSGo. I tried everything. I've spent about 8 hours out of my precious weekend trying to get this to work but to no avail I can't. I also thought it was my cpu usage being high so I checked my background processes and made sure EAC or nothing was disabled through Windows Run and Msconfig and all that stuff. I can confirm that EA app and Steam nor epic are the issue but rather the anti cheat service. Can anyone help me. It'd be really nice to play video games for real this time after 6 months of bootcamp instead of on my mobile device.
