My current work around involves creating a new user on the computer and launching DayZ from that user so this could work, although IIRC it did not the last time I tried it.
I'll give this a try on the main user account and report back when I get a chance.
Edit:
I've tried it out as detailed in the other post (Deleting battleye from appdata and downloading etc) and the issue is still not fixed.
Since creating a new user does seem to fix the issue for me, it does appear to be something user account install specific.
