Cannot Play: Game is Already Running but is NOT

Right after downloading and installing Business and Hobbies, tried repairing. Moved/renamed Docs folder of Sims 4 for it to regenerate a new one, PC JUST restarted due to updates and I only clicked play ONCE so there's absolutely no way it can be launched twice.

Am not surprised any. Usual EA senanigans. Nothing under task manager for Sims 4. EA App SHOWS it as not running...

crashing
ea app
expansion packs
launching
updates

    Tried a lot, repairing. reinstalling. cannot move a Sims 4 documents folder that no longer exists. Game still claims it is already running when it very obviously is not.

    Windows Security was blocking the game!
