"This game will not run in a virtual environment"

Hi there,

Trying to run Plants vs Zombies 1 on my Surface Pro 7.
As I start up the game it instantly stops an tells me that I can't run PvZ 1 in a Virtual Environment even tho I'm cleary not in a VM.
Is it because of the low specs of the surface that the game thinks it's running in a VM or what exactly is the issue and further more what is the solution to it

Thanks and have a Great Day

@Hynamiii Can you try running PvZ in compatibility mode to see if you continue getting this message?

@EA_Illium Hi. Surface Pro 7, same problem with loading Plants vs. Zombies. Standard Edition accessed through Epic. I had linked my EA account with Epic. I use the EA launcher though and get the above error message. Anyway to fix this? How to remove the link to Epic if it is a solution?

Just came to say that I also tried all the different options for compatibility mode, surface 7 pro, still getting the "won't run in a virtual environment" issue.
