Simple anti-cheating – Steam problems
I’m experiencing difficulty launching certain games – specifically *For Honor* and *Dead by Daylight* – on my recently purchased computer. The Easy Anti-Cheat system is consistently interfering, presenting error messages such as “unable to start the application correctly” or indicating a conflict with a file named "dwmapi.dll" located in my System32 folder. I simply want to enjoy these games, but it’s proving incredibly frustrating. My previous PC worked perfectly with older titles, so I’m hoping you can assist me in resolving this issue. I've been troubleshooting for the past two hours, and nothing has resolved the problem yet.

I’m not exploiting any hacks; instead, the game is exhibiting a malfunction. A notification appears indicating an issue with the file referenced in my article, preventing me from accessing it or removing it entirely. I’m completely baffled as to the root cause of this problem.
Ensure your Windows installation is current, as a damaged file or insufficient permissions could be the cause. To address this, open Command Prompt with administrator rights and execute the command sfc /scannow allowing it to complete its process.
Ensure your Windows system is current, as a damaged file may be the issue. Alternatively, open Command Prompt with administrator rights and execute “sfc /scannow” to allow the system to scan for corrupted files.
I’m attempting this presently, and the system indicated it detected damaged files; however, it did not resolve every single one. Following this, I executed the command: `findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt"`. This operation did not produce any issues with the resulting document, which contained several corrupted files located in `C:\Windows\SysWOW64`. The system reported that it repaired these, yet the problem persists.
