Title: Easy Anti-Cheat stops working after Windows update, and Windows Update settings won't open
Hello Microsoft Engineering Team,
I have been experiencing a persistent issue with Easy Anti-Cheat ever since my PC reset and installed a Windows update.
Whenever I try to launch Rocket League, Easy Anti-Cheat opens briefly and then immediately closes, preventing the game from launching properly. The game works when Easy Anti-Cheat is disabled, which makes me suspect a compatibility issue.
I also tried to roll back to a previous Windows update, but when I open Windows Update in Settings, I receive an error saying that it cannot open and to try again later. This happens every single time.
So far, I have tried downloading a Windows ISO file and reinstalling Windows, as well as completely resetting my PC four separate times. Unfortunately, none of these attempts have resolved the issue, and the same problem returns every time.
I have also checked the Windows security settings related to Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection, but turning that setting off did not fix the issue.
At this point, I have exhausted the troubleshooting options I know of. I would greatly appreciate it if the Windows engineering team could investigate whether a Windows update or compatibility issue is causing Easy Anti-Cheat to fail, and why Windows Update settings are no longer accessible.
I have already spent a significant amount of time trying to resolve this, including resetting my PC multiple times, without success.
Thank you for your time and assistance. I would appreciate any help identifying the root cause of this issue and finding a permanent solution.
