Re: EA app stuck on 'Applying Update'

@josephdischarge I tried the update 5 times with all the fixes. Last one I just left it on applying update for 5 hours (overnight)...it was done in the morning 🤡

  • Once you've closed it all in the task manager then either press the windows key and type "EA" and then look for the icon and right click and "Run as administrator" or if that doesn't work, look for the EALauncher.exe in your file explorer and right click that and run as admin, by default the EA app is installed to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop

    Hope that helps

    @amourrxshae Right click on the EA app in your start menu. Or sometimes there's a little arrow to the right. Click that and it will give you more options.
