Persistent and widespread ActivationUI.exe error, 0xc000007b

Hi, I have also bought SWBF2 Celebration edition from Steam recently and I also have the ActivationUI.exe problem. I will not join one of the other threads discussing their experience with this issue so I will not hijack their thread with my specs and experience and whatnot.

I've looked everywhere and tried everything that Google results could provide, to no avail.

I have done the following:
-reinstalled Dx11

-reinstalled Microsoft C++ Visual Studio Redistributables

-updated Windows to full and restarted (several times!)

-uninstalled from Steam and tried launching purely from Origin

-disabled all game overlays (discord, origin, steam, you name it)

-ran both Origin and SWBF2 as administrator

-ran /sfc scannow through my command prompt as administrator (no problems found)

The game still does not even try to launch, citing the same aforementioned error.

It is now your turn to tell me something new to try. All the threads I have found have not actually ended with an official solution coming from EA, which should be embarrassing. Someone surely should actually know what to do next, correct?

I have attached an image of the error window just so there is no doubt, and a copy of my DxDiag.txt so you know what I'm working with.

I look forward to your response.

    @Mystowgan Ohhh, yours is different than mine. Well I can imagine it should be similar to solve, but that does muddy my plans a bit. I followed a few Youtube troubleshooting videos before making this thread originally, so let me dig those up for you to try as well. This is not a rare problem so you could try looking on YT as well.

    @Mystowgan Try the "repair redistributable" thing that I did on the ones from the "All in one"
