Crashing on Start after Windows 10 Creators Update.

I updated my computer to windows 10 to the new Windows 10 Fall Creators Feature Update1709 Oct 2017 (Didn't give me a choice) and now Battlefront 2 will crash on start, launching a black square Battlefront 2 program for about 5 seconds before crashing. It ran perfectly before with no issues prior to the update.

I have tried everything from this thread that may have been relevant (1A-1D, 2, 3, 4).

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/PC-Star-Wars-BF-2-Fixes-For-Everything-D/m-p/6424768#M704

As well as the "Fixes" that were sent and recommended to me by EA support chat.

Kindly run the PC on the gaming profile -https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/Setting-Up-a-Graphics-Card-Gaming-Profile/td-p/5704790

deleting the Star Wars BF2 folder(s) under users documents, then repairing the game.

Kindly try to run the game as an admin 
Kindly try uninstalling the origin manually -https://help.ea.com/en-in/help/origin/origin/manually-uninstalling-origin/
Kindly try installing the origin again -https://www.origin.com/ind/en-us/store/download
Kindly create a new admin account .
Kindly try flushing the DNS -https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/how-to-flush-dns-cache-for-windows/

To no avail.

I have attempted to run it in compatibility mode for both windows 8 and windows 7. I have also disabled the Game bar as suggested in another post.

I am running the latest Graphics drivers for my GPU.

My Specs are:

i7 6700k OCed to 4.5ghz

Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Motherboard

Asus GTX 1080 8gb 

16gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400mhz DDR4 

Samsung 960 EVO 1TB as my Boot drive And drive that BF2 is running on.

EDIT:

 

I Reverted back to the older version of windows 10 using the recovery function under settings and it fixed the problem.
