I've found a potential cause of this issue, but I do not know how to fix this. In 'C:\ProgramData\EA Desktop\Logs\EABackgroundService.log', I get these errors:

@CTCB Same exact errors here.
@MilesSmilesD Yeah, and as of the most recent update from EA, "12.188.1.5443", its still an issue. I cannot play The Sims 4 or FIFA 23, and I also can't play EA Sports PGA Tour (I haven't even bought it, because why would I buy a game that I can't play?), so EA are missing out on my money (not that they probably care all that much!!), because they can't put together a functioning EA App for all.
i have put like 5 hours of trouble shooting into this issue and i stillo have not got it to work
Same exact situation. I hate this.
