Game won't launch - Windows 11

I just installed the NFSHP-Remastered but it will not launch on my PC running Windows 11. I have tried the following solutions but none works:

- Launch after clean reboot

- Remove NVIDIA and/or Steam Overlay

- Open in windowed 

None of these work. My PC runs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050Ti (4Gb) with 16 GB RAM and AMD Ryzen 5800u. I think this is good enough to run the game, I don't know what the problem is.

Does anyone have a working solution to this issue?

    It's working now. Apparently, I was supposed to launch it from Origin at least the first time before subsequently launching from Steam. I had to run Origin as an administrator too.

    @aare_ademola 

    It may be worthwhile checking out the Windows 10 compatibility mode options in Windows 11.

    Thanks.

    Still an issue here. Just got a copy and can't launch from steam.

    Have to open  Origin client and then it will launch from there (but running off steam).

    When I launch from Steam it just opens and then closes in under a second.

    This is beyond just the first time on my system.

    I really hate piggy back DRM, I will EA games would just launch using Steamworks if bought on steam, I assume the piggy back DRM is broken in some regard causing paying customers to have broken products.

    Modern times, pay more get worse experience than the P's

    @EvilAaron I have the same problem, days ago I bought the game from Steam and I haven't been able to play it. I tried to open it from EA Play but the error persists

    Installed NFS Most Wanted with Windows 11, Graphics card 1070TI, but keep getting message error code 0xc000007b.

    Updated Windows 11,

    updated Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages,

    Updated Graphic card 

    Updated DirectX and all sorts of things I checked online but nothing works!!

    With Windows 10, No problem to play NFS.

    Why?? Can't EA solve this??
