EDIT : If you end the task in task manager labeled EA Background Service, it should let you delete the entire launcher files from your PC. At least that's how I fixed the issue
Workaround #2
After opening C:\Program Files\, I manually deleted the Electronic Arts folder (only the EA Desktop folder was in it). I had to also manually close EA Desktop background services from Task Manager to allow the folder to delete. Once removed, I was able to re-run the Add/Remove Programs uninstaller for EA Desktop, which now completed successfully and removed itself from the list of installed programs.
Workaround #3
A little thing I found out, not sure it will work for everybody, but uninstalling the xbox (beta) app then uninstalling ea desktop worked for me. Hope this helps someone :D
Workaround #4
first go to ea.com
second sign in and go to account settings
third go down to connections then unlink the xbox subscription
should uninstall now.
simplest method for amatuer pc users like me
Workaround #5
I recently had an issue starting a EA Play game through the Xbox application too. luckily I didn't delete my trash files so i was able to restore the file to what it was and then used Revo uninstaller to scan the corrupted files and it worked I was able to fresh install EA Desktop again. I hope this can help somebody!
Workaround #6
So I been dealing with this problem for a week now, an temprorarely workaround would be, if you have created an windows restore point BEFORE you have uninstalled EA Desktop and load it. Thats how I kinda fixed it at all, from now on you'll be able to try reinstall EA Desktop, if thats either not helping, you supposed to reset windows completely.
Pls let us know for those who have tried this method, that would be helpful for others,
I just tried all of that but none of it solved my problem, now I don't any EA Desktop file in my computer and registry, but for some reason when I try to reinstalled it still say it's already installed, before it said it wouldn't find the app on the right file, but now when I try to go the app it just takes me to my desktop. Now I have this "cancer" in my computer that I can't get rid of, I can't play my games and I just wasted my money in this trash company which can't even make a decent piece of software.
