I feel sorry that i do not stand any chance to help you.🥳☹️😪
I found the solution after reading from many complains online.
1. Go into advance setting in Firewall.
2. Under "Outbound Rules", create a new rule.
3. Select "RA3.exe" in the Red Alert 3 folder as the target program.
4. Select "Block the connection".
5. Create a name for this rule. And after that, you should be able to run the game.
My game wouldn't launch and when I tried running the .exe I got an error Windows cannot find 'file path\RA3.exe' make sure you've typed the name correctly and try again
By changing the exe's name to 'RA31.exe' I was able to launch the game (launch takes about 30 sec)
Origin/Steam doesn't recognize that the the game is installed though so I have to manually run the .exe
