Ive been having the same issues, but with PnkBstrB having some kind of communication error.. I tried that fix and alot of others and nothing seemed to work... I found out a temporary fix and what I did was go to the BF4 files and delete pb/punkbuster and punkbuster.exe files.. Then I went to the control panel and deleted the PB program.. After that You might need to restart your computer.. then I went into My games in origin and right clicked on the BF4 game and repaired the game.. When its done you go to the files where PnkBstr.exe/Punkbuster.exe is and install the updates.. After that was finished this is what I did to find PnkBstr A and B is working.. You go to run in windows and type in services.msc and scroll down till you see PnkBstr A and PnkBstr B and click on them both and go to start to get them running.. You can stop or start to let you know so its best to keep them running ofcourse and ,make sure you double click on them and make sure you put them on automatic so at start up they are automatically running..
This is a temporary fix because I have the same issue all the time but its a communication error with PnkBstrB but every time i restart my computer and turn it back on I have to do this process all the time.. SO Punkbuster,EA,Microsoft for windows 10.. Either one of them needs to find a solution because it makes me not want to buy another game thats using punkbuster. I really wanted to purchase BF hardline as well but its pointless cuz then Ill be doing the fix even more than what I have to do now.. When I restart the pc and I find out it stopped working I found out it like removes or deletes the PnkBstrB.. I tell everyone the issue and its like da mn please fix it.. Im sure they can code windows better to be compatible with punkbuster better or have punkbuster update it so that it can run better on windows 10..
