    I already run System File Checker and it didn't find any integrity violations.

    I also try your other recommandation and still the same, the EA App couldn't run. Even the uninstaller exe cannot be run.

  • I'm having the same issue. I can't uninstall it and the popups with the error message start as soon as my computer boots up Windows. It started about a week ago for me. 

  • I had this start happening to me yesterday, it seems like I've tried everything. I've now reached out to EA about it, but I haven't heard anything back. This one is a little tough to figure out.. Also, my error message is now blank. It showed the error message maybe two times? I miss origin for PC.
