same issue here, and I've done everything EA Play app 'allows' me to do, even trying to uninstall the application....but i can't, even on safe mode.
It has to be the worst game manager app I've come along.
Origin was a nightmare and this one is no different...

I am also having this issue (Still). I am wondering whether it is worth while have EA Play being part of XBOX Games Pass as it never works.
Maybe if it was not part of Games Pass the monthly price would drop..
Maybe someone in EA's coding department can explain why it does not work...
