Community ManagerCould you try a clean boot as well? Just in case there's something in the background of your PC that's causing issues.
Could you also try completely uninstalling and reinstalling the EA anticheat seperately?
I tried both steps but neither worked. For the clean boot I wasn't able to fully complete it, and for the EA anticheat I found the EAAntiCheat.Installer in the game files and ran it as administrator but FC26 still does the exact same thing — anticheat runs for a second then straight back to EA App, no error message. I've been trying to fix this for a long time now and nothing has worked at all. Is there anything else that can actually fix this or is a refund an option at this point?

It sounds like it must be the anticheat that's causing problems. You mentioned that you couldn't properly do a clean boot; do you have any third party software at all that might be causing issues? Even some seemingly innocent tools might be triggering it.
These should give you specific errors, but can you check that TPM2.0 and Secure Boot are both enabled on your PC?
If that also doesn't work, could you try setting up a secondary Windows user profile and trying from there?
I've tried everything you suggested. TPM 2.0 is enabled and Secure Boot is on. I managed to do a proper clean boot this time and also tried launching FC26 from a brand new secondary Windows user profile, but the result is exactly the same, anticheat runs for a second then it just goes straight back to EA App with no error message whatsoever. At this point I'm really lost on what else to try, is there anything else that could fix this?

I also attached a video showing exactly what happens when I try to launch the game. My total playtime on FC26 shows 26 minutes but I have never actually played a single minute, every single one of those minutes is just the game opening and closing, opening and closing on repeat. It has never successfully launched even once.i’m having the EXACT same issue, it sucks man, can you give me access to the video to see if we really are facing the same issue, I haven’t been able to fix mine followed all your steps as well plus 20 other youtube video, all this hassle for what man ☹️
