Removal of EA desktop

Product: EA Desktop
Platform:PC
Error Report ID (learn how to create an Error Report ID in the sticky post)
Which client functionality are you experiencing this bug with? Application Installer
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 21.03.2021
Summarize your bug I installed the App as part of the Microsoft gamepass to access thbe EA game library. Having found out that you want money on top of my MS game pass to get anything I am trying to uninstall the EA desktop. Running the uninstall from Programs and Features start up but it doesn't do anything. Fires up the uninstall get to about 100% and it's still installed.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Install your shonky EA desktop and then try to uninstall it. This is basic bread and butter stuff. I'm a software dev and I would be embarrassed to have put this out!.
What happens when the bug occurs? Uninstaller runs but not is uninstalled
What do you expect to see? EA desktop is uninstalled.

Get it fixed,  I now have an app I don't want on my machine.

    I tried run appwiz.cpl but still not uninstalling.

  • Same. I attempted to uninstall it as an attempt to fix the account sync with gamepass issue.  I then deleted all the folders and regex values I could find.  Now I am stuck unable to "reinstall" as says I already have it installed, no idea where my PC is getting this info from.

    Summarize your bug I can't uninstall this awful app. I have gone through Windows' Programs to uninstall, the app uninstaller pops up and says it's uninstalling, and then it doesn't do anything.

    If the response is "it's in beta" like I've seen for every other basic functionality missing from this travesty of software, don't bother. Unbelievable.
