@DadsSpaghettios and @Runalicious - there is a similar issue with Command & Conquer, but someone posted a workaround which actually works.
The workaround is the 6th comment here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Command-Conquer-Games/Command-and-Conquer-Remastered-Failed-to-launch/m-p/12290229/highlight/true#M46616
The instructions for Red Alert were:
---
I had same issue but managed to get C&C Remastered to launch by selecting it in the EA App, clicking MANAGE, then View Properties and then adding -REDALERT to the Advanced launch options. After clicking OK to the admin prompt, the launcher successfully ran and allowed me to select my C&C original game or Red Alert.
Hopefully this will work for others too until EA sort out the bugs in this awful EA app.

You might have to use something like -SIMS4 (that's a guess, so it could be something else like -SIMS).
Hope that works.
If it does, let others know.
Cheers,
Darren
Thanks. It works.

Did you use it for C&C or SIMS 4? It didn't work for me with SIMS 4 and I never even had ORIGIN...SMDH
