Star Wars: Squadrons fails to download

Hey, @Poxleitnerr 

If you still need help with this, can you let me know if uninstalling EA Desktop and re-installing it through the Xbox app on your PC helps get around this error? 

Unless I'm missing something, all this did was uninstall EA Desktop, reinstall it, and then initiate the download through EA Desktop exactly like before. No, this did not change anything.

Just initiated the download (this time I clicked 'Install' in the Xbox app, which opened EA Desktop to initialize installation) at 1:15pm, and it failed the exact same way as before.

The workaround we advised is to uninstall and re-install it through the Xbox app. If that's not working, can you try adjusting your UAC settings on your PC to be less restrictive? We've seen that work for others players in these forums.

If that doesn't do the trick, let's try a Clean Boot. Once completed, immediately launch EA Desktop as Administrator.

UAC reduction made no change. Clean boot setup made it worse. EA Desktop won't start. I get "Something went wrong and the service failed to start. Try again in a minute." I setup Clean Boot per your instruction, rebooted, launched EA Desktop immediately upon Windows startup.

I also tried installing Squadrons from the Xbox app while in this state, but it gives unknown errors.

I still have Origin installed as well. Should that be removed?

Edit - Nope, doesn't matter. Origin uninstalled, symptom unchanged.

Just to test, I started installing, and got active downloading status on (but cancelled before any amount of downloading happened) : FIFA '21, Madden '21, Jedi Fallen Order, and Battlefield V (I'm actually letting that one install the whole way).

Can you let me know if this fixes it for you?

I closed the EA Desktop app while it was downloading BFV, and now it's wedged mid-download. I can't cancel it or pause. Used app recovery and it crashed...

Launched it again, crashed again. Launched it AGAIN, it let me login. Downloading Squadrons gives the same error.

Edit: I wasn't specific enough: I closed the Xbox app and attempted the steps from the link. Then the above happened.

Would you be able to attach a DxDiag of your system specs?

Attached.

@Poxleitnerr 

Thank you for attaching the DxDiag. I don't see any issues that immediately standout to me.

Is there any way you can create a new Windows User profile and try downloading EA Desktop through the Xbox app, and then try downloading this game? I want to see if it's Windows User permission related.
