should also fix the issue, while also updating your punkbuster for you to the latest version without having to do it while ingame.

Glad you got it fixed caligolntus, this ^ is just for others who stumble across this thread and don't have their issue fixed with PBSVC alone.

My Rig (Midori-chan)
Windows 10 Pro 64bit | MSI Z97-G45 Gaming Mobo | i5 4690k OC'd @ 4.5Ghz | Gigabyte Gtx 970 G1 Edition | Samsung 850 PRO SSD | 16 GB Gskil Ram @ 2666mhz
I just d/l Windows 10 and was having AA multiplayer issues. I could log into a game server and get to a team window before game start. After about 10 seconds or so I would get kicked and a Punkbuster.exe error message would pop up.
Saw that I still had Punkbuster in my apps/programs list, but obviously the new OS install did something. Everything else with AA and Steam was working fine. Ran the above .exe file and all was good to go! Thanks a lot!
Windows 10 done me as well, tried PBSVC but did'nt work,so I uninstalled AA and reinstalled it and now works fine.
Sometimes when I use PBSVC the installations window just disappear and no installation. I then log off/log on windows and run PBSVC again and the installation works.

Run install as admin.
Excecutables need to run as admin as well.

Here is the advice I got from PunkBuster Support:
-
Please start pbsvc.exe and run through the uninstall process. After that, run it again and run through the install process. Make sure it uninstalls/installs correctly. Reboot the computer and then try playing again. Vista/7/8/10 users need to start the pbsvc.exe explicitly with admin rights (right-click and select "Run as Administrator").
-
Please make sure you allow the service files in security software like virus scanners and/or firewalls. You will need to allow/unblock the services PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe from your "C:\Windows\system32\" folder (or "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\" on 64bit systems). In case of doubt, manually add both to your firewall's allow list. After the installation process you will only find PnkBstrA, so just make sure this process file is not blocked. Then try playing on a PB enabled server, in case of a kick, check if PnkBstrB was created and unblock it too.
