da origins and da2 not launching on win 11

da inquisition ran fine so reloaded  origins and da2 which I played on win 7 and 10.  neither would launch.

turns out a win 11 setting called Address space layout randomization was the cause.

in a command window run with admin permission, enter/run windows security then
app&browser control
exploit protection/exploit protection settings
program settings
add program to customize
choose exact file path then select DragonAge2.exe from the ea game folder
scroll down the list of settings to Forced randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR)
then override system settings and turn off

do the same for daorigins.exe if you have that game

another option - turn ASLR off globally (read up on what it does before doing this)
