Easy Anti-Cheat (Patched Windows boot loader detected (0xC0010002)

I’ve recently come into an error message when launching any game that uses Easy Anti-Cheat such as Halo MCC for PC. I’ve followed a few troubleshooting steps such as restarting my PC, and even repaired the Easy Anti-Cheat with Uninstalling it and Reinstalled it. I haven’t made any changes on the PC and haven’t installed any new programs or updates.

Here is a picture below Showing the error, there isn’t much online speaking of the issue, however I was able to play the game earlier today as of 8/1/2020.

Thank you all for the assistance,

I’ve done more research, and I’m currently going to performing a Windows Defender Full Scan, and did a clean install of the Microsoft Visual files. Thank you again for everyone’s help and I’ve currently looked in to both replies, and neither have returned results including installing a fresh install of Windows 10. I’ve submitted a ticket with Epic for their Easy Anti-Cheat system and am awaiting a reply within the next 14 days.

I’m open to any other ideas if anyone is able to assist with the issue.

If a fresh install of Windows 10 is not working then its safe to rule out some file damage or errors.

This shows that the game has a defect. I have seen widespread problems with EasyAntiCheat on forums all over and check with a clean install of windows shows the game is defective.

The clean install is a definitive proof of problem with the game.

Same situation here. Just randomly quit working a few days ago, despite literally playing for hours the night before. Very frustrating. Have tried verifying game cache, uninstalling/reinstalling EAC, adding to antivirus exceptions, running malware scans, getting the most up to date visual c redistributeables, etc. All of this on a legitimate system.

The articles linked to provide zero help, and a full OS reinstall is a non solution. to get a game playable when a) it was playable the night before, b) nothing has been added or removed from the system, and c) all other programs and settings are working fine.

Let me know if yours works out. Otherwise I’m going back to the last stable release of windows 10. if there is one. Every new windows update has me on edge that they are going to brick my system like countless updates have before.
