BATTLEFIELD 1 closing wo errors. [no solution found.closed]

First I want an explanation for the reason for deleting my previous top HERE.

Hey folks, really hoping someone here can help me out, ‘cause I’ve been stuck with this since December and I’m out of ideas. I bought BF1 on Steam, and for months now it just… refuses to launch. Here’s what happens every time:

  1. I open Steam Hit “Play” on BF1
  2. EA App launches, I see the Battlefield 1 banner/preview screen like it’s starting
  3. Then it just closes and throws me back to the EA App main screen.
  4. That’s it. No error, no game, just vibes.

Now, I’ve reinstalled everything: the game, EA App, Steam, drivers, BIOS, even the EA Anti-Cheat. And here’s where things get weird… When reinstalling EA Anti-Cheat, around my 10th attempt, I noticed the service “eaanticheatservice” in Windows Services won’t start — it throws error 1503 (screenshot attached, sorry it’s in Russian ). Win10. SecureBoot enabled. I’ve dug through forums, Reddit, tried every “fix” I could find, nothing’s worked. At this point, I’m honestly worried that if BF6 Beta drops, I’ll be locked out again because of this same crap. I'm SURE the problem is eaanticheatservice and error 1503 in services. So yeah, if anyone’s run into this or has a clue how to fix it — please help a fellow player out. If you need any info from my end, I’m here and ready to provide it.

Thanks in advance, and bless you if you even read this far 🙏

    thanks for the help, but i already did all that stuff way back when this whole mess started. this is the last time im gonna say it — the issue with eaanticheatservice and that 1503 startup error doesnt get fixed by reinstalling the game\ea app\directx\drivers or whatever. feels like nobody here even tried to google what that error actually is or what service im even talking about.thanks, but i know how to use the first few google links too.

    I think something is corrupted, either Windows or EA anticheat. I know you have done everything to fix it but I think a fresh install of Windows might be the only option. Sometimes files get corrupted and because of that things like EA anticheat don't start because your system is missing files and/or can't read them.  I'm sorry if this is a bit repetitive, but unless you have classified files on your PC I'd suggest you reinstall Windows. Many times on the internet people say to reinstall Windows (and I hate when they say that because its always something else) as a first step option, but from what it looks like you've done everything you can besides a reinstall.
