Fails to launc have tried everything

Hi, EA SPORTS FC 26 won't launch. EAAntiCheat never installs its kernel driver and pnputil shows no EA drivers at all. The game just redirects back to EA App with no error message.

What I've tried:

  • Reinstalled EA App and FC 26 multiple times
  • SFC /scannow and DISM /RestoreHealth — both completed
  • Windows Repair Install completed
  • Secure Boot is off
  • All overlays disabled (NVIDIA, Discord, Xbox Game Bar)
  • Ran EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe as admin — opens EA App
  • Ran FC26.exe directly as admin — same result
  • Registry entries for FC 26 exist and look correct
  • EALauncher.log shows "DisplayName field missing from registry" on launch

Windows 11 build 26200 (24H2 Insider). Need help forcing AntiCheat driver installation.

  • In the windows log i also noticed that the fc26.exe exited with code 0x186AA from EA Javelin Anticheat.
