    Zero errors. I decided to rollback to windows 10. And now it boots perfectly.

i have gone through and completely white listed every program and file related to origin, EA desktop, ME:A, literally anything i could find, and nothing has helped in the slightest.

like i stated previously, i am at a complete loss, i have done everything i can think of and cannot find what is preventing certain EA games from launching. and EA support team can't either ☹️ very upsetting.

    @holger1405 yes i did. i'm wondering if it has anything to do with AMD's Radeon program, which i don't know if i can disable without messing up my PC.

    i can't launch ME:A, so i decided to see if i can launch any other games from the EA Desktop to be sure, so i downloaded Titanfall 2, Sim City, Sims 4 and Apex Legends, and all launched fine without a hitch.
    strange the issue seems to arise only from select games.

        from /checkhealth: No component store corruption detected.
        The operation completed successfully.

        from /restorehealth: [==100.0%==] The restore operation completed successfully.
        the operation completed successfully.

        from sfc/scannow: Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them.
        For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at windir/Logs/CBS/CBS.log. For example C:/Windows/Logs/CBS/CBS.log. For offline repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag.


        do you want/need to see the logs as well? after all of that i attempted to launch the game again, same problem persists.
