After a few hours with the user the problem was resolved after repairing Windows 10 with safe software.
No other solution worked.

None of those steps worked for me either.. I get missing 3 files in steam then it does the download of 29 MB then nothing happens.

Hi thejasonh
Try this :

Clear cache
--EA app--
If you're using the EA app, perform an app recovery (the app will restart), then “repair” your game.
--Steam--
If you use Steam, go to the Steam settings in the “Download” tab, click “Clear Cache,” then repair your game (on Steam, this operation is called “Verify Integrity of Game Files”).
Then launch EA app and Steam in administrator, after full launch, start the game.
