Fix FC 26 Crash on Windows | EA AntiCheat Blocked by Defender [ Solution ]

I found the solution for the FC 26 issue. As many of you already know, the problem happens because EA AntiCheat is being blocked by Windows Defender.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Open the Windows Start Menu and go to “Virus & Threat Protection.”
2. Scroll down and select “Manage ransomware protection.” → Disable it.
3. Then, go back to Virus & Threat Protection settings → Click “Manage settings.”
4. Scroll down to the bottom → Under Exclusions, click “Add or remove exclusions.”
5. Add exclusions for the following:
   • EA
   • EA Games
   • Electronic Arts

After doing this, EA AntiCheat will no longer be blocked, and FC 26 should launch without restarting your system.
