@SansGelatineHi, i tried to create a new file and it asked for some permissions. So I tried to reinstall the EA app in an other disk (using a guide in an other forum post) and the app installed well, i can create files in the EA Desktop folder but the problem is still there, still the download restart. New ticket here (9bf8595d-67d5-4540-b272-3ad73d4e2b04)
Btw, i have plenty of other games and launcher in both disks and no other app is giving me this problem

Thanks for the update @ArtemeSAS . Our dev team continues to investigate and wanted to share a deeper explanation of the problem.
EA app uses C:\ProgramData\EA Desktop to store game download progress so that it can be paused and resumed later. This is regardless of which folder or disk you install EA app on.
We noticed in the logs that when writing to this location Windows returns an error "1460 - Timeout". That is why we're curious about network backed storage or a file permission issue.
Here are a few questions and next steps we would appreciate if you could try:- Are you using any IT tools to provision or manage your devices?
- Could something like WinRM be in use to provide remote management access?
- Is your account an administrator on the device, and if so could you try changing the permissions so that the service admin user can write to that folder?
- If you aren't the administrator, could you speak to one to make this update?
- The "SYSTEM" and your personal account need read and write access to C:\ProgramData\EA Desktop
- Are you using any IT tools to provision or manage your devices?

Hi @SansGelatine , unfortunately nothing changed again, i will send you some screenshots i did with all the modifications to the folder but no luck. I can see the files that are created in the folders for the download cache, here i tried with The Sims 4 so i could do it faster than with a 130gb game like jedi survivor (94d3c37f-1d8b-4e17-a1e4-be25e23e0ff4)
Edit: I forgot to say that i'm not using any remote controll app, this is just my personal pc i use every day

Hi again @SansGelatine, I was trying again with The sims 4 and something strange happened. After the restart of the download the file size changed from 20+ gb to 15 gb. I don't know if this can help for solving the puzzle XD
I did a report too (53929584-a2d3-468f-b18f-00311fb94b32)
I hope it can help
