ActivationUI.exe unable to to start correctly 0xc00007b

Hi, I recently purchased Battlefront 2 celebration edition through Steam and when I tried launching it, it says "activationui.exe unable to to start correctly 0xc00007b". I've done excessive research and I'm not the only one with this problem. I reinstalled everything (the game, direct x, .net and etc), I've also done the regedit method but I don't even have the activationUI folder to delete so honestly, if I can't solve this problem by the end of the week I'm just gonna get a refund.

Hey @kevinwong123 You can also try to do a clean boot to see if there any programs messing with Origin.

Yeah, I went into the steam files and ran the exe on admin as well as origin. It still shows the error.

Hey @kevinwong123 have you tried running Origin and SWBF2 as admin?

"ActivationUI.exe unable to to start correctly" most of the time means there is a program stopping it from starting.
