Fix 1: Give steam admin perms.

Step 1:
Go to your steam foldier.

Step 2:
Right click on steam.exe, click on priorities and go to the "compatibility" tab.

Step 3:
Tick the box that says:
Boot up program with admin permitions
(or smth like that, I have my pc language set in greek.)

PS: You should also try to run cod with admin perms too, Just do the exact same like we did with steam, but this time for the "cod.exe" file, which is located in your cod foldier.

Fix 2: msconfig

Step 1:
Press "Windows key + R" and on the window that will pop up, type "msconfig".

Step 2:
Go to the tab that is called "Services". And Tick the "hide all microsoft services" box.

Step 3:
Untick all boxes that interrupt cod.
I suggest turning off (If you have them):

EABackgroundService
EasyAntiCheat
Epic Online Services
Overwolf Updater Windows SCM
Zakynthos Service
Uncheater for Battlegrounds_GL

Step 4:
Click "Apply"

I think thats basically it.

Yep, I don't think there are any other fixes, this are all the fixes I think helped me fix the opening crash thingy.

A lot of people have and complain about this issue so please like and favourite so more people can see this instead of crying.
