EA AntiCheat error (1053) — Service not responding after crash

Hello, I’ve been playing Battlefield 2042 since release and everything worked fine until recently. A few days ago, the game suddenly crashed and my PC restarted by itself. Since then, I can’t launch the game anymore — it shows the following error: “EA Javelin Anticheat error. Please restart your PC: C:\Program Files\EA\AC\EAAntiCheat.GameService.exe (7)(1053)” Here’s what I have already tried: 1. Rebooted the PC multiple times. 2. Ran both EA App and the game as Administrator. 3. Uninstalled and reinstalled EA AntiCheat using EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe. 4. Deleted the AC folder and reinstalled the service cleanly. 5. Checked Windows Services (services.msc) — the EA AntiCheat Service exists but doesn’t start (error 1053: the service did not respond). 6. Used PowerShell commands to delete and recreate the service (sc delete, sc create, etc.). 7. Ran sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth — no effect. 8. Installed the latest .NET Framework 4.8.1 and Visual C++ Redistributables. 9. Made sure Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and WMI services are running. 10. Granted full permissions to the EA AntiCheat folder for SYSTEM. Despite all that, the service still fails to start with error 1053 (“service not responding”). Could you please review this issue or provide a clean repair/reinstall package for EA AntiCheat? It looks like the AntiCheat service can’t initialize properly even after a full system repair. Thank you for your help.
