    I fixed it I fixed it I fixed it!!!!! 

    Basically I messed up the whole app because you  know that is me and I made it worse by messing around with files. The app wouldn't open. So I had the idea of deleting the crash reporter (CrashReporter.exe and .enc) in the ea desktop file folder, which sounds stupid but now it cant tell the app to shut down so it loads as normal

    Hope this helps!

    Nothing else worked for me so I opened the EA desktop directory so if your having this issue open the EABackgroundService.exe located in that directory . I created a ghost process with Hstart_4.2 so this will start every time windows starts.

    @4321R12122 YES, that works!
    I wanna explain it a bit better :
    open the folder C:/programs/electronic arts/ea desktop/ and then double-click on "eabackgroundservice.exe" and then you double-click (start) "eadesktop.exe"
    So if we start this backgroundservice before we start ea desktop, then it works !
