I don't have any quick troubleshooting tips, but have found a link to some troubleshooting tips that might help.

I tried those options but none of them seem to fix the issue unfortunately.
I believe it’s antivirus related and something is preventing me from connecting to the ea server. If there are any ways to figure a fix on this, please let me know.

Have you tried doing a web search on how to stop antivirus from blocking a program?
