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.

  • Cache & App Resets

    • Used 'App Recovery' to clear the EA App cache.
    • Manually cleared deep cache folders in `%localdata%` and `%appdata%` (EADesktop/Electronic Arts).
    • Closed EA Background Services via Task Manager and restarted as Administrator.

     

    Force-Verification Methods

     

    • Attempted the 'Language Switch' method (Manage > Language) to force a file verification.
    • Renamed the game installation folder to trick the app into a fresh 'Download' state.

     

    Registry & System Tweaks

     

    • Verified and modified Windows Registry keys (`Install Dir` and `Locale`) in `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Electronic Arts\EA Sports FC 26`.
    • Switched between network connections (Wi-Fi vs. Wired Tunnel) to rule out network-specific blocks.

     

    Reinstallation

    • Uninstalled and reinstalled the EA App entirely.


      this was a complete list of all the fixes i tried, nothing happened
