I recently built a new PC using all brand new components from the past year and made sure to install all the latest updates. However, I run into a major issue when trying to launch games – they either freeze as soon as I interact with them or don't open at all. This seems to happen with a variety of games, especially those using Easy Anti-Cheat. I haven't had any success reaching out to support for these games, and it's been over a month since I've been able to play anything. In Task Manager, most games show 0 network activity as well. I even tried a full factory reset of my PC, but that didn't solve the problem either. Really hoping someone can help me out!

New components don’t always mean everything's set for gaming. Have you checked the system requirements for the games you want to play? Just because your specs are high doesn’t mean the drivers and other settings are optimized. You might need to troubleshoot further with drivers or settings in the game launchers.
Hey! It sounds frustrating, but we need more info to help. Can you share your PC specs? Knowing the processor, RAM, GPU, and storage type will give us a better idea of what might be going wrong. What games are you trying to run too? That'll help us check if there are any compatibility issues.
Sure! I have an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, 32GB of RAM, AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT GPU, and a KINGSTON SNVS1000G SSD.

I checked all the requirements, and my specs meet or exceed them!
