Halo MCC crashes with easy anti cheat error 00000001


Shortly after launching Halo Master Chief Collection (MCC) the program crashes requiring an end task.  Both normal and Anti-Cheat Disabled mode fail. A task end of a normal launch produces

Game Security Violation Detected (#00000001)











This was resolved by installing update KB4497165

A previous update of some type is suspected to have caused the issue.

MCC seems to be very sensitive to updates.  Several times the game will only launch one all pending updates have been installed and the computer rebooted.
