Host_WindowLoadTimeout "Error"

Hello Good morning!

I need help from you guys, there is an option for a subscriber player, but it is impossible to be a subscriber if my issue is not resolved.

Im trying to install SWTOR Launcher but it gets very slow, and also crashes, then when the launcher is already installed there is a message that shows a problem with windows host.

I have added a pictore with wath im watching in my screen.

Is there any solution for this? Few months ago I was playing perfectly but now I cant play again.

If you know any solution please let me know.

Thank you !

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled (from the website - not Steam). The launcher doesn't even come up. There's nothing for a while, then the Host_WindowLoadTimeout error pops up. 
    I've looked all over the place to try to find a solution, but haven't found anywhere that someone has even tried to give a solution.

    @ImSoggyWaffles 

    post a dxdiag as well per https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Technical/Guide-Posting-a-DxDiag/m-p/4832663/highlight/true#M70799 

    looks like missed the OPs thread, although quick look his windows version is reporting an old insider version for some reason and the video driver is outdated 

    Can check with the team looking into this what other info they are asking for during the week.

    What antivirus / firewall are you using likley would be handy

    @proxos666 Thank you.
    I'm running Windows 10, and my antivirus and firewall is Bit Defender. I've checked the log to see if its blocking it, but there's nothing there.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled three times now, each one using a new download from the website. Only on the first attempt to play does the launcher briefly come up. It then disappears, and after a minute it so, the host error comes up. After the first time, the launcher doesn't show at all.
    When I get back to my PC, I'll grab the dxdiag report, if that helps anyone. My Nvidia drivers are up to date, as is Windows. I can try specifically excluding swtor from Bit Defender.

    I appreciate the response!

    i am heading off to bed for night its 12:10am 

    With bitdefender there has been issues previously over the years, the only way to tell at that time bitdefender had anything to do with swtor was to uninstall bitdefender, reboot and then see if swtor behaved , unfortunately this is worth doing for this too even if to be sure its not bitdefender

    just dont forget to put  bitdefender back after testing

    I added exceptions to BitDefender, but it didn't help. I haven't uninstalled it ... yet. I'll try that later on if nothing else works.

    I ran dxdiag, but I don't see anything in it that would indicate the problem.

    Perhaps I should try uninstalling the game (again), and installing via Steam instead.
