I've ran the app as administrator but it didn't solve the problem. I have also tried to remove any mods I use in my game (The Sims 4) but that didn't work either. Would really appreciate some help so that I can play my games again!

    I terminated the EA app AND the EA background service via task manager and everything seems to work. I can launch games again and I don't see the error anymore!
