Is BF6, EA anticheat, and EA app all installed on C: drive?

If not then uninstall everything.

BF6
EA anticheat. Make sure to select 'uninstall all'. https://help.ea.com/en/articles/platforms/pc-ea-anticheat/
EA app

Reboot the computer to finish uninstalling EA anticheat kernel driver.

Then install everything on C: drive. There's a bug and EA anticheat will only look for files on C: drive.

Yeah I only have one drive and its my main C: drive. I have also completely uninstalled both EA and BF6 and made sure to wipe all the equivalent EA files since I don't have any EA games, everything is through Steam. Battlefield 6 is the only EA game I have currently.

  So I found some interesting things. I noticed that whenever I click the play button on Steam is says "Running EAAntiCheatService.Installer.exe" and went into the BF6 location files. I found that exact .exe file and checked the entire BF6 download folder and could not find any executable for the actual EAAC, its only the installer. I then found that there is supposed to be several other files in there to actually run the EAAC. So I did some testing and check with Command Prompt. I queried it, ran it then queried it again and found that when the service runs it immediately quits again because its missing the other executables. When I was finally able to add in the other files and open BF6 it still kept closing after opening the initial screen. So I have a very high suspicion that EAAC is not downloading, installing and running correctly at all. I have tried all the solutions posted here and even added in the correctly installed AC files from another game to see if that worked and it did not. When I run the installer normally BF6 isn't even an option to install or repair.
