Madden 25 being stupid

I have reinstalled the game, looked up every troubleshooting method. I use a Logitech controller that doesnt require the windows app to run it, i have reinstalled the anti cheat, I don't know what more to do. I haven't experienced this problem ever. I have played the game for months and now all of a sudden this red box pops up on my screen saying something about "make sure application isn't running" I don't remember the entire phrase because ive grown so frustrated with trying everything under the sun to fix it. EA please fix this, do you really need anticheat on MADDEN????? I mean i have never seen anyone cheat on a mf sport game... let alone a madden game. This is so insanely frustrating since I paid 60$ for the game amd can't even run it. I can't even run madden 24. Please help guys, im on PC and have the game on steam and it automatically downloaded it on EA app. Like I said, ive been playing both games for months (madden 24 for like 16 months) never used any ps4 or Xbox controllers. Please. Help.
