Re: Battlefield 4 getting stuck in background processes - Win 10 Anniversary update

I'm also having the same problem.

I found a fix here:

https://forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/13592/bf4-not-launching-windows-10-anniversery-update-causing-bf4-not-to-launch-disappear/p1?new=1

It worked for me sort of. The game now loads, but when I get to the spawn screen the game crashes.

I had to go back to the previous version to get my game working again, although others seem to have fixed the problem with the link above.

So try this if the above link solution doesn't work for you:

    @Daedalus-XCV You are the man.  This solution worked for me too.  Thank you very much for your help!  I will mark your reply as the solution.  Cheers! 🍺

  • It works for me as long as i delete the settings file each time i start bf4

  • Try, to clear the update cache, the update cache is consists of the update installation files. The operating system uses them if user even forced to reapply the update. It saves downloading them again. However, it is a good idea but they take up a lot of space.

    Follow the steps to do so:

    • In the first step, it is required tom stop the Windows Update service. And then search for services and right-click on the top result and then open it as an administrator.
    • After this, scroll down the list of entries until you find Windows Update and then right-click on it and choose Stop.
    • You will now need to delete the files and then press Windows key + R in order to open the run box. Now type C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\ and hit Enter.
    • After these, you can now delete everything within the Downloads folder.
    • Last but not the least, you will need to head back to services and then re-enable Windows Update.
