I'm on the latest update for Windows 10 (20H2), have the latest drivers available. I have webroot, and I still have this problem with the game, so it isn't fixed for me yet.

Disable is not enough.
Uninstall it and I am pretty sure that the issue will be fixed.

  Week plus 2 and still nothing come on tried everything but disable my Antivirus which ain't happening. Its run for close to a decade now on various PC's its put in its work and gained my trust. EA lets get more then a short blurb addressing this issue that apparently keeps popping up.

    Please someone from EA could you tell us why the issue was fixed quickly the 12 Décember 2020, and why it is always not fixed this time since 17 Décembre 2020 ???

  @N16H7-W1N6 Correct, you have to uninstall it for it to work again. I have tried disabling and whitelisting the game and Easy Anti-Cheat and it does not work. Tested the uninstalling of Webroot and it booted right up.

    @1SmittyWerben Well, That's not a good option for me. The game worked fine a few months ago they should be fixing this issue.
