FC 26 Not launching, tried everything...

Hello. Played the other day and everything was normal, started the game the next day and it wouldn't launch, I have it on Steam, so it automatically opens EA app, and that one launches the game, usually. But now the launcher would start, "checking updates", "EA Javelin starting", "launching game", and then nothing happens, launcher closes and it opens EA app again and the game never starts.

Tried deleting the cache. Tried verifying files from steam. Tried repairing and updating the EA cheat app. Tried deleting it and installing it again. Tried turning off/on windows security. Tried uninstalling the game and installing it again... And lastly tried the clean boot method, three times.

After all that, an entire day wasted, the game is still refusing to launch.

Please help.

In the NVIDIA App, go to Graphics and select EA SPORTS FC 26. On the right side, where it shows the game optimization settings, don’t click Optimize. Instead, click Revert/Restore to go back to the previous settings. That fixed it for me. After reverting the NVIDIA optimization, the game launched normally
