Title: EA AntiCheat error after every Windows restart (Steam version)

Since the latest Battlefield 6 update, I have to repair EA AntiCheat or verify Steam game files every time I restart my PC.

System:

  • Platform: Steam
  • OS: Windows 11
  • Secure Boot: Enabled
  • Antivirus: AVG (checked, no files quarantined)

Issue:
After a Windows restart, launching Battlefield 6 gives:
"EA AntiCheat encountered an error"

The game only works again after:

  1. Steam → Verify integrity of game files
    or
  2. Reinstalling EA AntiCheat

After applying the fix, the game works normally until the next PC restart, then the same issue returns.

Steam verification replaces approximately 4 files (~40 MB) every time, which suggests an EA AntiCheat/game file state issue rather than a hardware problem.

Troubleshooting already done:

  • Verified Steam game files multiple times
  • Reinstalled EA AntiCheat multiple times
  • Checked AVG quarantine/history
  • Checked Windows Security settings
  • Confirmed Windows is fully updated
  • Confirmed Secure Boot is enabled

Please investigate whether the latest Battlefield 6 update introduced an EA AntiCheat regression for Steam users.

in short this is very inconvenient for EA!!
i found a temp solution but this can cause other players with no information about how do PCs work to simply quit the game
so i suggest fixing it[Urgent]

Thanks.
