Re: [CURRENT ISSUE] Sims 4 already running

I think I recently updated my Windows, and it seems to have affected my game. At first, I kept getting an error code, and during gameplay, it would either crash or shut down the entire laptop. I tried restarting Windows, clearing the cache, and everything I could think of! Now, the Sims game won't launch at all. Every time I try to open it, it says the game is already running, but I can't see or find it anywhere. I noticed something called Game Bar on Windows, and the Sims game appears there, but whenever I click on it, it just redirects me to the EA app. I’ve looked up solutions and tried turning on the component mode for Game Mode, but I still can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I really need help with this game!
