Mass effect: Andromeda error "Game is already running..."

This is my first time seeing this problem when i try to launch the game i get a popup window saying the "Game is already running..." but the game isnt running i checked the task manager and restared the pc but again the same problem. I have this error only in Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem but not in apex or battlefield games.

The Problem Reports window is empty and i dont any have mods installed.

Stuff i tried are: 

  • Verify integrity
  • Re-installing the game
  • Installing the DirectX & VC again from the --Installer folder
  • Disabling the overlay
  • Compatibilty mode
  • Disabling full screen optimizations
  • Running administrator mode
  • Clean boot
  • Recent Gpu drivers
  • Recent chipset drivers
  • App recovery
  • Re downloading Ea app
  • Formating the windows drive
  • Trying the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Checkhealth & DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth & sfc /scannow
