Can’t Run Any Game That Uses An Anti-Cheat

Let me start by saying that no, I do not have any cheats/hacks installed.

About 3 weeks ago I lost the ability to launch any game that uses anti-cheat, whether that be Riot Vanguard, BattlEye, Easy, or otherwise. I do not even get error messages from the anti cheat platforms or launchers, the games simply will not launch. On Steam when I hit the green play button in library it will attempt to launch, open a window for about .5 seconds, and then immediately close.

In the beginning I was getting BSODs, but not anymore.

Here is a list of things I have tried thus far: • Reinstalled BattlEye • Reinstalled the games themselves • Reinstalled Steam • Verified Game Files • Windows Memory Diagnostic • Updated GPU drivers • Updated system drivers, network adapters, BIOS, and chipsets • Complete reset of Windows 10 • Uninstalled all 3rd party anti-virus/anti-malware • Allowed Steam and the games an exemption from Windows Defender • Complete removal and clean install of NVIDIA drivers • sfc scannow system scan through cmd prompt • Cleared Steam download cache

I have the ability to run games which don’t use anti-cheat, I tested this by running Talespire on Steam as well as some other free indie games.

I would be seriously, immensely grateful for any light you might be able to shine on this problem. It’s been a month, I just want my favorite games back haha
