    All good. So if you cannot uninstall them from within the launcher, go to your control panel in Windows, and under Programs locate the game and uninstall it.

    I go one step further and delete the game folder from the main file path that it should be in which is typically Something like C:\Program Files\Dragon Age Inquisition ⬅️ For example.

    A path mismatch could be a cause yes. Thankfully that is an easy fix. When you install the game again, you just make sure it is on the same drive the app is. This will have defaulted when you install the game, so if that changes, you just change the drive to match the same file location.

Thanks for this. I figured it might be something along those lines. 

How do I Uninstall and reinstall the games? I couldn't see any option in the EA launcher to do that?

Is it that I have a path mismatch between where the game is installed and there the launcher thinks it is?

Apologies for the silly questions but the launcher totally baffles me 😂I'm very happy with how Windows launches and controls programs... It's just the launcher that is the baign of my life. 

Thanks again for your help 👍
