Hello everyone,
I went through absolutely everything you did while trying to fix the Battlefield 6 splash screen issue. After about 10 hours of troubleshooting and countless attempts, it turned out that the problem was actually caused by a Windows Security Update.
Earlier this morning, I had updated Windows, and somehow it cleared most of the previous updates, leaving only “Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 2004 for x64-based Systems (KB5008212)”. This one kept downloading and installing but always failed in the end. I even tried installing it manually, but it didn’t work because it was from 2021.
As it turns out, the anti-cheat system requires the latest Windows Security Updates, specifically “Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5066198)”.
To fix it, I ran MediaCreationTool_22H2 (the official Microsoft tool for creating installation media) and chose the option to repair Windows while keeping my files and apps. This replaced everything on my C:\Windows with the proper version. After that, I had to install the Security Updates a few more times (about 3–4), but this time Windows detected the latest ones — not the 2021 versions.
Once everything was fully updated, Battlefield launched without any issues.
I hope this helps someone else resolve the problem.
Good luck! 🍀
and what if i have windows 11 with all installed updates?
