        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
