Re: a required security module cannot be activated. this program cannot be executed

I too have this problem, Red Alert 3 wont work on my recently upgraded windows 10 computer. I have an original (legit) disc version, I uninstalled it and downloaded + reinstalled it through Origin, but the same error message comes up on game launch

A required security module cannot be activated.
This program cannot be executed (8016).

I have tried various compatibility modes, run as administrator, reduced resolution, 8 & 16 bit colour settings, but nothing has worked thus far. The game is fully patched up to the current updates.
