Re: "EaBackgroundService Failed to start" when installing EA Desktop

Update: I'm gonna try to install it on windows 10 and than, instead of doing a clean installation of windows 11, I'll upgrade the system, keeping the files.

    Did you check your task manager and did you end all tasks related to Origin and EA Desktop before trying to install the app @Mysticxhh?

    Hi did you ever resolve this? 

    Currently having the same issue

  • @Kubrt0s try to repair Visual C++ in configurations-applications-applications and programs- Visual C++ (all that exist) you put unistall and then you put repair not unistall and that fixed the error and I was able to install the app (i have the same error)
  • It worked!
    After testing various options, I had to repair my Visual C++ redist 2015-2019 (on Windows 10 x64). As an addition, the first time failed. After rapairing both the x64 and the x86 versions, the installation of the MSI went fine!
