EA App keeps deleting or uninstalling itself

I am having a big problem with the EA app itself.
For some reason, whenever I try to play any EA game or the app tries to run on its own, I am met with an error stating that "The app cannot be found".
When that happens, I know how to TEMPORARILY fix the problem so I just reinstall the EA app installer which I have redownloaded countless of times but for some reason, I cannot find any files named "EA app installer" when I manually go look for them despite clearly seeing that the website tells me I have multiple copies of it.
Is there a way to PERMANENTLY fix the issue? I would appreciate it if there was a way to and someone could help me! Thanks in advance 🙂

  • I have been having this issue for almost a year now on my laptop. No I do not have any antivirus software besides the standard that comes with microsoft (meaning you can not uninstall it as it is built in). This happens regularly every 2 months or so. I literally launched the game yesterday for the first time in a while and had no issues. additionally as soon as I try to reinstall Ea it tells me that the app is already installed, 

    but when i hit the launch button it says the app is not pathed correctly. The only way to make it works is to hit the repair button. then it relanches

    This keeps happening and I do not have any antivirus software, this has been happening almost regularly for a year now. i have moved the location where EA downloads, and this issue has persisted through two different laptops. I launched EA yesterday with no issues multiple times. Additionaly, I have no custom content for anything, the only game I have is sims.
