Windows 10: I believe Windows Security is preventing me from running some of my games Fortnite and War...

Every time I go to load Fortnite it crashes after Easy Anti Cheat loads. I cannot launch the programs on their own and it seems like Windows is blocking them from running. I have spent several days trying all the public information on the two games. I have also had tickets submitted and the answers they gave were mostly stuff I tried already.

Custom gaming pc for Fortnite...need help!!!

Honestly just about any decent machine will handle Fortnite with ease so you could probably spend half that and still build a decent machine for Fortnite.

That said, the system listed is a nice build and one that's future proof more demanding games. You might consider building it not just for Fortnite, but other stuff.

Again, any decent system can handle Fortnite so from that perspective the specs listed above is over kill. But if you want something future proof and powerful that system is a nice place to start.

Anyway the only suggestion I have (based on the assumption of an OS drive) is to get a 512gig SSD drive, and put the extra money towards a 2TB or more HDD drive for games and other data. The only real difference between putting games on an SSD drive vs. HDD drive is faster load times. The other thing you could do, though it's more money, is again, go with a 515gig SSD for the OS, and a 1TB SSD for games and data.

I just don't see an OS drive needing a 1TB SSD drive. I've got multiple SSD drives in my system with the OS drive being a 512gig SSD drive and my other SSD drives holding other data. The OS drive houses all the OS's native files and folders - Documents, Pictures, Music, Downloads, while the data that my go into those folders is placed on the other drives - Gaming, Music, Photo, Misc. Data.

My two cents.

windows 10 and total war games

If your games are on disc the problem is a 'security' feature MS built into Win10 - DRM Blocking.

I have more details in my post at
---this thread---

With Win10 the only way to run these and many other disc based games that use SafeDisk copy protection is to use a noCD fix/hack.

Use the fix that suits the version you have patched the game to. Best results would be to patch the highest version available.
