Re: Can't launch any game from EA Desktop or Origin and a bit of rant

My EA Desktop app on my PC would not launch any of my games. A yellow banner across the top would pop up saying to try again a little later. There are a few things I did that fixed the problem, but I am not sure if all, or only one of them was the actual solution.  First, I made sure to launch the EA Desktop using the app "EADesktop", and not "EALauncher".  I set the EADesktop properties to Administrator.  Then I opened up Windows "Services" app. and found the "EABackgroundService" app, and in properties, set it to "Automatic".  You can find the Services app my pressing the windows key and then at the top, type "Services".  It will bring it up, and you can click to launch. Once you find the "EABackgroundService" line, rigjht-click and select "Properties". In the middle of the pop up box there is a line "Startup Type", select "Automatic". You may need to re-start your computer. This might help some people's situation. See Attachments for a brief guidance.
