EA anticheat causing ntoskrnl.exe taking a lot of CPU usage on PC

The game became laggy and stutering for me after the last patch. So i decided to make a little investigation after realising that so many people had this problem. It appears that after i start the game and the anticheat starts (before i even get in a match either online or offline) the "ntoskrnl.exe" which is a core program for your processor and CANNOT be turned off starts spiking and taking a lot of the CPU around 80-90 percent which makes the game stuter and lag. Is there a way that we can fix this problem SINCE WE KNOW WHAT IS CAOUSING IT?

In the picture all other processes take around 0.2-1 percent each but the ntoskrnl.exe takes 25 each.

Dont be hoodwinked, devs fix these problems if they A) know what the issue is B) have an incentive to fix it

Its now late Feb nearly March, there are roughly 2 months of this game left until they start to release teasers for FC26 and the focus will be on that title for September.

They wont be fixing this issue in that time I guarantee that, it would have been fixed in Tu6 if it was a concern to them, we are now on Tu9.
