Battlefield 1 launch error - need help

ive tried to launch my game and it says that it requires admin previllages, 

i have then applied "run program as admin" to the BF1.exe, EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe, EAAntiCheat.Installer.Tool.exe and the EA app.

and it is still requiring admin perms any ideas?

    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.

    i dont have an EA services folder in the Electronic Arts folder,

    and yes my account does have admin privillages, ive also realised after a complete factor reset of my PC it launches once on the intial boot and then doesnt launch again afterwards. 

    secure boot didnt help either,

    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!
