EA FC 26 - Windows 11 Launching error

I have the same problem from start trial version. I tried all recommended things.

What I already tried:

  • Updated NVIDIA drivers (clean install Game Ready driver).
  • Reinstalled EA AntiCheat through EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe (Uninstall → Install → Reboot).
  • Checked that EAAntiCheat.GameService still runs in background after fail.
  • Cleared EA App cache via App Recovery and manually in ProgramData.
  • Fully reinstalled EA App (removed leftovers, fresh install).
  • Ran both EA App and FC26.exe as Administrator.
  • Verified VPN is off, running only on laptop screen.
  • Removed NVIDIA App, left only driver.
  • Disabled all overlays (EA, Discord, GeForce).
  • Added EA App, AntiCheat and FC26.exe to Windows Defender exclusions.
  • Checked BIOS: Secure Boot enabled, UEFI mode confirmed in msinfo32.

Can EA Support confirm if this is still a known issue, or if there are more troubleshooting steps? 

Thanks.
