        • Open task manager, locate EA Background Service, and end task
        • Clear the cache for the EA app
        • Run the EA app as an administrator 
        • Check for any background applications blocking the EA App
        • Try lowering your User Access Control Settings:
          • Close the EA app
          • Click the Windows button and type "UAC" in the search field
          • In the User Access Control window, click and hold the slide bar —slide it to the lowest setting available
          • Click Okay the bottom of the window
          • Open the EA app client and try starting the download again

        Keep me posted on this!
