If the black screen appears at every launch, it might be worth trying a clean reinstall of the EA App following these steps to see if there's any improvement.

Also, earlier this year I was asked to approve 2 UAC prompts by windows just for launching the app (not playing something). Issue I managed to fix through a scheduled task with elevated privileges. Now the issue is back.

Deborahmosca Thanks for the update and additional context!
Are your graphics drivers and Windows up-to-date? Can you try disabling your GPU driver and using the default Windows driver? Also if the EA App is running on administrator mode, try disabling that along with quitting EABackgroundService.exe in your Task Manager.
