You mentioned that Task Manager does not show bf6.exe running, and I understand that on your Windows 11 system you’re also seeing a 0xC0000005 access violation error. These two facts together strongly suggest that the issue may not be caused directly by the Battlefield 6 game software itself — but rather something at the system or Windows level.
Here are some helpful references that explain common causes and troubleshooting methods for the 0xC0000005 error on Windows 11:

These guides cover the common causes of error code 0xC0000005, which include system file corruption, driver conflicts, memory issues, DEP settings, and registry problems, among others — many of which are not specific to any particular game.
In fact, community reports regarding Battlefield 6 (BF6) suggest that when this error happens in the game it’s typically logged as an “access violation,” meaning the game tried to read or write memory that wasn’t valid (e.g., a null pointer) and then exited abruptly. In these cases, bf6.exe doesn’t stay running long enough to appear normally in Task Manager.
Hey,
I have already run sfc /scannow and DISM health restore checks and both completed with no integrity violations or errors found. I have also already addressed the other things those guides cover, including DEP/Exploit Protection settings, driver conflicts, memory testing, paging file configuration, and virtualization or security features in Windows.
Thanks for the recommendations though.
