Ok I can provide an update.
I manged to get SWBF2 to launch by creating a new local Windows User Profile, opening the EA App with it, and the game would launch fine, as I outlined up thread here (https://answers.ea.com/t5/STAR-WARS-Battlefront-II/Battlefront-2-won-t-launch-with-new-EA-app-PC/m-p/12351629#M105696). Hence for the last 3 weeks or so that is how I've been playing it.
Yesterday, my PC downloaded and installed a Windows 10 Optional update, specifically update KB5023773 (link to update on MS's site - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/march-21-2023-kb5023773-os-builds-19042-2788-19044-2788-and-19045-2788-preview-5850ac11-dd43-4550-89ec-9e63353fef23) which was released on 21 March 2023. When I started up my PC today, I tried launching the game and guess what? It launched and I could play it like I used to with EA Origin on my usual Windows Profile.
So if you are still having launch problems, see if installing the update I mentioned helps resolve your issue.

I saw some posts suggesting Windows updates a couple weeks ago had messed up Local Security Authority, so your getting a more recent update and it fixing this problem checks out. Hopefully, it stays this way for you.
