Re: How to fix Error Code EC:10000 or EC:10500 in EA app?

Guys!!! I figured it out!! Go to settings, go to network & internet, go to windows firewall at the bottom, click restore firewalls to default. Then I just made sure to open the EA app as the administator and everything worked!


Holy [removed] it worked, thank you! EA owes you, you just saved them from losing a customer. Never had to do that before for any game app or to use anything on my PC in general, but that's the magic of EA I suppose.

    Appreciate this one. Hope this does work for others as well!

  • Unfortunately this did not fix the issue for me. Still getting Error code EC10000.

  • It's been over a month and I have still yet to get a reply, so I am bringing this back up.

    As a Steamdeck user I was able to use things fine, but then started getting a constant EC 10000 error when signing in via the EA APP.

    Up until last week I had found a lengthy work-around by signing into the EA App via Steam, but that has now been seemingly closed off and I am now getting the EC 10000 error for any way I try log in to the EA App.

    Please advise me on the solution.

  • I was having the same problem - Getting error EC10000 when trying to sign into the Windows EA App. It turns out the problem was caused by my Bitdefender Antivirus protection. I resolved the problem and am now able to sign into my Windows EA App account after I created an Exception for the EA App in the Bitdefender Online Threat Protection module. I hope this helps some of you.
