Re: EA Desktop does not open - "The application was unable to start correctly"

I also have an issue with EA Desktop and it started today with a new update to it.

Seems like the issue for me is EABackgroundService.

Faulting application name: EABackgroundService.exe, version: 12.0.16.4019, time stamp: 0x5f7e3af2
Faulting module name: ucrtbase.dll, version: 10.0.19041.488, time stamp: 0x0d8057d8
Exception code: 0xc0000409
Fault offset: 0x000000000007287e
Faulting process id: 0xca8
Faulting application start time: 0x01d6a3209703b48d
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\EA\EA Desktop\EA Desktop\EABackgroundService.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\System32\ucrtbase.dll
Report Id: 56de2017-b146-44c2-80e2-fddcc67a5eb4
Faulting package full name: 
Faulting package-relative application ID: 

Not even EACrashReporter will start because of it and when I launch EA Desktop it always welcomes me with the message:

"Sorry, an unresolvable error occurred. Please restart the app."

Even if removing completely and installing fresh, same issue occurs for me.

    Yeah, crashes just as the other two are describing.  I can't use it if it only wants to constantly restart.
