FIFA 23 ‘This software cannot be used at the same time as the game’ Error: Fixes & Workarounds
1) Restart your system:
The first thing you need to do is restart your system to make sure that the error is not temporary. If the system has a temporary glitch or bug, after a restart, the error will be gone.
2) Run the game as an administrator:
The second thing you need to do is run the game as an administrator. You can do this by going to the shortcut file of the game or the .exe file of FIFA 23 and right-clicking on it. After that, click on an option that says “Run as administrator”.
3) Turn off “Virtual Machines”:
If you are using Virtual Machines on your Windows PC, then make sure to turn them off before launching the game. This might be the core reason why the Anticheat service isn’t allowing the game to run.

You can also turn off another Windows feature called Hypervisor by going to Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off > Windows Hypervisor Platform. From here, disable the option and click Ok.
