Solved
Ea app download bar is greyed out
I have come across this disturbing issue, basically whenever an update happens, and i press update, it stays like that for hours at least, i was trying to play fc 26 overnight and went to sleep, 7 hours later, no change.
It happens very frequently, whenever i need to switch the language for example, it also does the same thing, i sat down for 3 hours with gemini to help fix the problem, and it did a week ago, now with the update, i tried the fix, didnt work, i dont want to pull an all nighter every single time i need the ea app to download something,
I need a permanent fix.
Sorry to hear you're having trouble installing this update, and thanks for listing everything you've already tried. You can also try the following:
- Open task manager, locate EA Background Service, and end task
- Run the EA app as an administrator
- Check for any background applications blocking the EA App
- Try lowering your User Access Control Settings:
- Close the EA app
- Click the Windows button and type "UAC" in the search field
- In the User Access Control window, click and hold the slide bar —slide it to the lowest setting available
- Click Okay the bottom of the window
- Open the EA app client and try starting the download again
