Games won't launch due to anti-cheat (Autohotkey)

I can't launch Battlefield 1 and Skate (2025) due to EA thinking I have Autohotkey installed, or software that also uses Autohotkey. I have never used anything to cheat in a video game, and I will never use one. I do have Daemon Tools for disc images, but I have disabled that, as well as my mouse software, Razer Synapse, as they are for some reason flagged as 'Autohotkey'. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR OBIVSOULY BROKEN ANTI-CHEAT SOFTWARE, AS I CANNOT PLAY TWO GAMES, AND BATTLEFIELD 1 I PAID MONEY FOR!! EA ARE TAKING THE P.I.S.S. WITH THIS!! So many PC players are going through the same thing, and it is making me not want to purchase an EA game ever again! Though for some reason NFS: Heat launches perfectly fine!??

    EA online chat informed me to do a 'clean boot'. So doing a clean boot, by disabling all non-Microsoft services, and disabling start-up apps, fixes the issue. But the fact that I have had to do that, just for EA games to launch, is still ridiculous, all be cause the anti-cheat is way too sensitive! The Anti-cheat still needs sorting out, as I shouldn't be needing to do all of this just to play an EA game!!
    Edit: If like me, you have Daemon Tools installed, that will also have to be uninstalled as well.

    In my case I had to disable a system resource monitor widget for Rainmeter in order to play the some of EA's games.

    I haven't got that. It's ridiculous, the amount of hoops we have to jump through just to play a game! The worst part is, when you discover that cheaters/hackers are still getting onto Battlefield, yet us who follow the rules, can't get on because of some software that just so happens to flag up as a "cheat device" Google Ai recommends enabling Secure Boot, but that can potentially brick your PC, and no game is worth that risk. All this because some lazy people who claim to be gamers, love to cheat in online games. I've used Noclip and Godmode in solo games, but I would never attempt to do any form of cheating in online games, I don't even use Godmode & Noclip anymore, that was just for exploring the world, not to win at a game. I am so annoyed with EA! First they started with gay microtransactions, and mountains of DLC's, and now this bs with anti-cheats. EA used to be a GOOD game company before all this. RARE's anti-cheat (SoT) doesn't kick up a fuss like EA's does.
