FC25 Anticheat detecting ‘AutoHotKey’

Hi, I’ve been playing EA games on my pc for 5 years with no issues at all with Anticheat. However yesterday for the first ever time, the game could not launch as Anticheat was detecting ‘AutoHotKey’.  I have never once installed this app, I have also never installed any kind of mods or modding software to my pc for any games. I just use my pc for gaming and video editing. 

If I repair the anticheat file, I am able to open the game but if i close the game, I am met with the same autohotkey message again when trying to reopen. Is there a known fix for this? As its just happened out of the blue I’m quite confused.

    I have the exact same issue on BF V since they updated the anti cheat in middle of May .. despite not having any Autohot key software.  I have to repair the game each time to open it which takes over an hour.  Have sent at least 2 fault reports to EA but not a whisper back nor any sign of a repair.

I must tell you that the first few times you launch the game, it could close on its own while you're playing or crash. This could not happen, but in my case, I have a low-resource PC and it does. It's actually an AntiCheat issue, so I recommend watching this video. It's in Spanish, although following the steps will fix it quickly and easily.

    Autohotkey is a application to help open applications and do other tasks using hotkeys, so if its bothering you on FC25 you can just close it in the task manager and remove it from the startup folder.

    I have the same problem. When I start FC25 I get the following error (Spanish): "This software cannot be used at the same time as the game. Make sure it's not running or restart your PC: AutoHotKey"
