I tried to uninstall via control panel and it just said ea desktop has nothing to it or has already been uninstalled and deleted that piece. The app is still there. It is operating but not well I guess. Downloaded Revo and it can't find this app at all. What the * am I supposed to do. I have this piece of * cancer on my pc and I can't * get rid of it.
Ea releasing broken software now fml
Revo can "see" EA Desktop on my system just fine.
I assume that the uninstall via control panel did purged Registry entries and that lead to Revo not "seeing" your installation.
In this situation the manual erase of remaining Registry entries and files of EA desktop is the only way imho.
then could you put a map of all the folders that the ea desktop appears on?Deleting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Art\EA Desktop did the trick for me
hey i wanna try deleting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Art\EA Desktop but how do I do it and what do I not touch, do I just delete the whole folder? just want to double check🙂
It is a Registry key not a folder, even if it is displayed as a folder in Regedit.
You need to delete the "EA Desktop" key. (Right click "EA Desktop" > Delete)
But be careful not to delete anything else.
You also can back up the Registry before you work on it by right click "Computer" > "Export" at top of the chain.

@GODJonez holy moly thank you it's fixed my stuff XD
Ok so I still have the problem I've no more solution now :'(
Good buy Ea games
Close "EA Desktop Background Service" in your Taskmanager then you can deinstall this software trash!
use the Reva uninstaller and use hunt mode to nuke it
Has this been solved? I'm having the same issue. Deleting the registry key doesn't work for me
EA SPORTS FC™ TeamHi @AceKilla61, if removing the files from the registry didn't work, then please try using the Microsoft Troubleshooter:
Thanks for the reply! I went to the extreme. I reinstalled windows after backing up all my important files. My eadesktop games were install on my E drive, so I also had to delete my “WindowsApps” folder on my E drive. There are guides online about how to take ownership, but long story short this fixed my issue. Do not delete the “WindowsApps” folder if it’s on the C drive. Apparently this can cause a lot of issues.
For me its working, you first delete the registry after that you delete the ea app data by open file location after tha you open the ea app installer and choose repair, its work for me it show up on installed app then i can uninstall it properly
I love you, I spent days trying to solve it, and with a simple comment from years ago you helped me
