Madden NFL 26 PC game says already running but will not launch

I am having an issue with Madden NFL 26 on PC where the game will not launch.

When I click Play in the EA App, the game never opens. The EA App then says the game is already running, even though no game window appears and Madden does not show in Task Manager.

Steps I have already tried:
Restarted my PC
Closed the EA App and background EA processes
Reinstalled Madden NFL 26
Reinstalled the EA App
Ran the EA App and Madden as Administrator
Checked Task Manager for hidden processes
Verified game files
Disabled overlays and startup apps
Confirmed Windows and drivers are up to date

EA Support has already walked me through advanced troubleshooting.

I was instructed to run multiple commands in Command Prompt and to create a custom desktop shortcut to launch the game and EA App. Even after completing these steps exactly as instructed, Madden NFL 26 still does not launch and continues to say the game is already running.

At this point all basic and advanced client side troubleshooting has been completed. The issue still persists.

This appears to be a launcher level or account related issue with the EA App preventing Madden NFL 26 from starting correctly. The game is currently unplayable on my PC.

Posting this update as requested so the technical team can review and advise on next steps or request logs if needed.

None of these steps fixed the issue.

This appears to be an EA App launcher or account synchronization issue and not a hardware problem. The game is currently unplayable.
