Okay I think mine is fixed now. Here is what I did:
* Uninstall the EA app.
* Go here and download the VC++ dists (2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022) for both X86 and X64:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2015-2017-2019-and-2022
* Install those packages.
* Reboot
* Re-download EA app and install it.
And now it's working for me.
FWIW, the VC++ packages I had installed were 14.34.xxxxx where as the latest downloads are 14.36.xxxxx. I don't seem to see them as updates available in Windows Update, which is where they usually get updated I think.
Also, I first tried to install these newer VC++ packages without uninstalling the EA app but it didn't help. It wasn't until I reinstall it that it seemed to help.
tried this, im fully up to date with everything. just refuses to do anything.
@AutismoSupremoDid you try uninstalling those VC++ packages and then getting the latest ones from that page? you can get the version you have installed from the Add/Remove apps screen, searching for "++" and they are usually down the bottom. Click on the 2015-2022 ones and it will tell you their installed versions.
14.36.32532.0 is the version I just got.
