first, try to repair the Game. Open Origin, click on game, click on setting (little weel) choose repair!

Then run the game as Administrator.

If this not help then try running the game on the "recommended settings". Right click on Battlefront.exe, go to Properties then click on the Compatibility tab. After that, click on the button that says "Compatibility Troubleshooter" and let it do its thing. After it's done try running the game with the new settings that it gave you.

      try to do a clean boot.

      also clear cache can help sometimes.

      If not maybe your Defender is supressing the start.
      Go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & thread protection.
      Under Virus & threat protection settings, select Manage settings, and then under Exclusions, select Add or remove exclusions.
      Select Add an exclusion, and then select from files, folders, file types, or process. The exclusion will apply to subfolders within a folder as well. (add excluson for battlefront2.exe in game folder)

        @RotblutThe video is useless since as I stated, I was able to launch and play the game completely fine previously. Clearing cache is irrelevant to my issue, I already added it to exclusions, and clean boot won't help. 

        EDIT: also pretty sure that a windows update caused dat or smth
