I doubt it has anything to do with me just installing Windows 11 but I did that yesterday. So here is the problem... When I launch my app there is no new windows that open. I can tell that something happens because in my window bar it opens and it shows the window is there but on screen nothing is there. When I hover my mouse over where the window should be the curser does change as if the window is there to a text curser and a click curser. So it is registering that the window is there but everything is invisible. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to try and fix the issue and read the other posts about technically issues, gone through and deleted the files and redownloaded them. I can not get my windows to show up. Anyone else having an issue like this or have solved and issue like this already??

I reverted my computer back to windows 10 because I was having issues with other games as well. That actually solved the issue I was having.

That's not a solution though. EA Desktop App is awful. I'm having the same issue and no way I'm going to change my whole OS version to use it.
edit: the app window opens out of the screen visible area

Thanks, I had this issue too and the previous poster is correct.
I moved my window back on screen by following these instructions: https://support.ti.davidson.edu/hc/en-us/articles/115016089728-Move-an-Application-Window-From-Off-screen-Back-to-Your-Main-Desktop-Windows#:~:text=Hold%20down%20the%20Shift%20key,%2Dscreen%20to%20on%2Dscreen.
Edit (added instructions below):

Occasionally, Microsoft Windows thinks you have a second desktop/monitor when you don't. Or, you do have a second desktop/monitor but it is currently not working or can't be turned on. The technique below allows you to bring a window from the "invisible" desktop back to your main desktop.
Right-click on the Windows taskbar and select Cascade windows from the pop-up menu.
Hold down the Shift key, then right-click on the appropriate application icon in the Windows taskbar.
On the resulting pop-up, select the Move option.
Begin pressing the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the invisible window from off-screen to on-screen. Typically, you will use the left arrow to move the window from right to left.

@mrcleanup Just now, this is what was actually wrong with mine, too. Thanks for posting this. This solution in the link worked perfectly.

Hey, I've been having this problem too even before upgrading fully to windows 11.
In case your computer doesn't have Cascade or can't find it after shift clicking the task bar, another way to go about this is to shift click on the ea app on the task bar and "maximize" it. This will have it go full screen, brining it onto your computer monitor front and center.
From there, if you drag the screen where you see the title of the app with the hamburger, -, square, and the x it will allow you to make the window smaller and your preferred size.
Minimizing it and then clicking on the application, the window should remain on your screen as you had previously set it.

yup. Just alt + spacebar and then "move" and you will be able to move the window with your mouse.
