Squadrons will not open in Origin. Stuck on the Easy Anti Cheat screen

I have 14 hours in game, and it was working fine two days ago. Yesterday, the game would not launch, and it was stuck on the Easy Anti Cheat window. I've attached an image with the error, which says "Launch Error - Failed to start the game".

I have tried doing the following things to fix this, but I've had no success, and the same error screen keeps coming up:

-Repair Squadrons in Origin

-Uninstall / Reinstall Squadrons

-Uninstall / Reinstall Origin

-Update Windows

-Update Nvidia Geforce driver

-Repair Easy Anti Cheat in the Squadrons game folder

-Uninstall / Reinstall Easy Anti Cheat in the Squadrons game folder

The only thing I haven't tried is whitelisting Squadrons / Easy Anti Cheat on my antivirus software.

Help would be appreciated!!!

    @N16H7-W1N6 Okay so that worked! - that's gotta be the issue. I completely uninstalled webroot, and the game launched, no issues at all. I reinstalled webroot, the game wouldn't launch again. 100% that's the issue on my machine. I tried whitelisting squadrons, easy anti cheat, and origin on webroot before, but none of that worked. Going to try to look for a solution where I don't have to completely uninstall webroot...

  • I'm still having this issue in fu**ing December 2021. Nothing I do will fix it! I bought this game a year ago and still cannot play it!

  • This is on the older side of time, I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.
