Windows cannot find EALauncher.exe, when it's right there

Question

I had an issue with the EA app, and uninstalled and reinstalled it. Yesterday after reinstalling, the app worked fine, today it won't let me launch the app despite it working yesterday. The error i get makes no sense... please help.

When moving it to another directory, and launching the app from there, i get the error code EC:104, where it first says background services has crashed. When I try to repair the issue, it resets and the same issue repeats.

After much trial and error, the solution ended up being a combination of things.

Restart you PC
Press Windows + R, and open %appdata%
Find and delete all cache files.
Run EALauncher.exe
If the app doesn't run completely, go to the top right corner, click on app recovery
Clear cache
Restart yor PC.

This all worked for me, not sure quite what did it, and not sure if it is a permanent solution, will update if it turns out not to work permanently.

This was not a permanent solution, and after starting up my PC the next day, the same problem resumed.
