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?- 5 years ago
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.
