Back again, because of course that damn stupid message appeared and I couldn't see anything in my library. My previous suggestion was to manually update EA Desktop. However, this time I was told the app was up to date, so it was back to searching for another solution. And, I found this:

Just saw this has already been noted but leaving it here anyway just in case anyone needs the vid :D
