I ran the Windows Update troubleshooter and it fixed some error.
DEP won't work on the EA App because it's a 64 bit .exe and it doesn't work on 64 bit.
No clue how to do either of the bash things.
I ran the EA App as admin and now it's just stuck on launching the game.

Gaibaa Normally, when it does that, Windows Security, Defender, or Antivirus pops up in the background to allow it to run. If that isn't happening something is blocking this exe from launching.

I found a tutorial on how to completely disable DEP. I did so and it didn't change anything.
I went into my Windows Firewall settings and made sure that Steam, all the EA App exe's, and all the Mass Effect Legendary Edition exe's are allowed through the firewall.
How do I do the bash things you mentioned?
