Hello I have a bug with windows 10, maybe just a random glitch where EA APP get stuck and unable to use it properly. 

I also have a * FIX * For this issue.

So really quick, EA APP is able to be logged into, and Launched, but the EA APP is stuck some how, Unable to see the APP, use it or launch anything.
- The EA APP shows as a TAB, unable to maximize, the APP Icon also shows in the bottom right tray, unable to do anything with that either other than exit.

So, the

* FIX * is, and it's very easy / simple. (For me this is for Windows 10)

you see the TAB you usually see or go to in the taskbar (not the icon in bottom right) - -

1. literally hover over the tab, wait- and it should show a preview window of the EA APP.
2. Right click on the preview window
3. Click Maximize

Boom- Done your EA APP should now be back in view, no need to re-install or anything 🙂
- There must of been some glitch where EA APP got stuck running in the background or something. IDK, I'm just glad it's fixed now.

Good luck - I hope this fixes yours and you're able to launch your games.

    @Chezzy01 What OS? My fix worked for Windows 10, That's what I'm using.

    If you're not using windows 10, I don't know. Hopefully someone else can help in reply. - Good Luck

    @Chezzy01 Hey Again Chezzy, Sorry I'm not of any use to you, but have you tried completely exiting the EA APP + Restarting your computer? Does this fix the issue when you start up the EA APP again?
