Any new word on an update to fix Windows 11 and its problems with Easy Anti-Cheat?

Okay, I've seen this asked elsewhere with no response but I'll throw my hat in the ring as its my problem now too. Background: I just bought a prebuilt from corsair and it is already running Win 11 Pro 24H2 and has a Intel Ultra 9 285K CPU. I updated everything to current release on the software and hardware side. Its extremely disappointing that essentially out of the box I cant run any game that utilizes EAC it crashes to blue screen with the "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" and auto restarts. I cant even get Easy Anti-cheat to open to see if it needs update (it just quickly closes as soon as it opens) Ive reached out to game devs CiG, and sabre interactive, publishers Epic (who also created EAC), Steam, i even asked intel because id heard that the new CPUs dont like EAC either and now am about to try Microsoft and I cannot for the life of me get a straight answer or story on what I am supposed to do. There's no previous version I can recover to. Lol, Im stuck with a gaming computer that cant utilize gaming's most common anti cheat, because of Windows it seems.

Hi ,

Perfect now, you will do the following and access the bios Activate VT-D and Resizable BAR.

Then the on commando prompt will open and execute the commands below:

DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /All /FeatureName:Microsoft-Hyper-V

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard /t REG_DWORD /v EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity /d 1 /f

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard\Scenarios\CredentialGuard /t REG_DWORD /v Enabled /d 1 /f

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard\Scenarios\HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity /t REG_DWORD /v Enabled /d 1 /f

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard\Scenarios\KeyGuard\Status /t REG_DWORD /v CredGuardEnabled /d 1 /f

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard\Scenarios\KeyGuard\Status /t REG_DWORD /v KeyGuardEnabled /d 1 /f

Reboot

You will go and take the test.

    Both of those options were already deselected. I reenabled them and deselected them as the steps prescribed. Issue is still present.

    Hello Ivan, I tried following your link and there was nothing there, I think it was deleted or unavailable.
