Try deleting the license folder.
C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License
Create a backup of the folder just in case you need it for some unforseen reason.
If that doesn't work then create a backup of Battlefield 1 folder in Documents, then delete the Battlefield 1 folder in Documents to reset game settings to default.

OskooI_007 I tried both of those and neither worked but thanks of for your reply. No change.
As I said already above, I have admin and even checked admin privs for BF1 and EA Desktop. It's buggy outdated and unsupported software. Now many can't run the game at all. There is no error message.
The EA Desktop launcher asks for admin privileges when launching BF1, yet I'm running everything as admin. I triple checked admin status as you requested under Settings > Accounts and yes I'm Administrator.
Does the game or EA Desktop require TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module version 2.0) ?
Battlefield 2042 requires secure boot to be enabled. I'm not sure if Battlefield 1 also requires secure boot or not.
Windows Event Viewer might have error codes for Battlefield 1 or EA anticheat.
Does the game or EA Desktop require TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module version 2.0) ?
It may, potentially, if it uses EA Javelin. I play on console, so I'm not 100% on which version of anti-cheat BF1 uses, but these steps should tell you, though.
- Go to the EA app.
- Choose your game.
- Select Manage, then View Properties.
- Select Browse.
- If your game uses EA Javelin Anticheat, EA Javelin Anticheat files will be visible in this folder.

We need a patch for BF1 and/or EA launcher to fix launching in Win 24H2 issue please. Will BF1 ever be updated again? Why does EA abandon patch support for their popular online titles? It doesn't make sense!
