    I tried: 

    1. Firewall and Windows security settings

    2 Task manager ending task

    3. Turning on/off Ransomware protection

    4. uninstalling and installing again 

    5. moving EA folder to desktop 

    6. Installing on different disc 


    I checked all tips on Reddit, YouTube and here. Tried it all and nothing worked. I would like to understand what is going wrong this is why I started new topic as this issue seems to be a different problem every year. I am using Windows 11
