Re: All games crash on start, sends back to ea app home screen

found a fix.

Did not even have to Reformat my Drive, reinstall any of my apps & data

or EA app or games this time.

It involves Upgrading Windows, however there is NO reformat involved

and you do not have to boot off a USB or DVD to do it

the whole thing takes almost 2 hours to complete

depending on your net connection for the downloads,

and the speed of your system to do the installs,

to reinstall the EA app and the games take me about 12 + hours

you will have to reinstall Visual C after the Upgrade finishes,

you can get the latest Visual C installers at the following links

ALL LINKS ARE MICROSOFT SITES SO NO ISSUES WITH BUGS OR HACKS

Visual Studio 2013 (VC++ 12.0)

download both the X86 and X64 installers

Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022

download both the X86 and the X64 installers

MediaCreationTool22H2.exe, click on "Download Now"

to get the "Media Creation Tool 22H2.exe.

OR, just click on this click to get the file

Right click the MediaCreationTool22H2.exe and Run as Admin,

Accept licence terms when they come up,

Select "Upgrade this PC now" and click Next

click on

"change what to keep" when the screen comes up,

then select

"keep personal files and apps" then click "next",

so you dont lose your personal files and apps.

now go get a drink and something to eat while Windows installs,

once you are back on your desk top install the Visual C files.

you old Windows install will be saves to the C: drive in a folder called "Windows.old"

and you get a fresh up-to-date Windows 10 install.
