Played fortnite a few times on my pc but went mainly console. Want to go back to pc and everytime I try to start it it says "an application using easy anti cheat is already running (stop pending). I've tried deleting eac, repairing it, uninstalling and reinstalling it, said it was successful same problem.

Uninstalled fortnite all together reinstalled didn't work. Uninstalled steam, origin and bf1&4 to see if it's the problem nothing works!!

Any suggestions? Was going to uninstall csgo etc and all my steam games but didn't want to if I didn't know for sure it would work!! +rep for any ideas that work

I also get this whenever I cold boot and try to open it before anything else, after this I then go back to the same error code I previously had! [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I also get this when trying to repair Easy Anti Cheat

Run CMD as admin and type this in: sc delete easyanticheat

Then reboot PC.
Open the Epic Games Launcher and click on the cog next to Launch and hit verify.

Make sure you don't have any anti viruses running.

Verify your anti cheat here if it doesn't work still: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

One last thing you could try is to go into your program folder and look for the Easy Anti Cheat folder and just delete it. Make sure you are closed out of epic games launcher and all. Then reopen the Epic Games launcher and try verifying once more. When it prompts to install Easy Anti Cheat again, download it.


Typically Easy Anti Cheat downloads to the x86 folder.
