Re: Game failing to launch. Windows flagging TS4_Launcher_x64.exe as Trojan

I have the exact same issue! I deleted my Sims 4 map and now I am downloading it again, I hope this solves it.

subduedgalaxies​  Try clearing the EA App's cache before repairing yet again.

If that doesn't help, check your antivirus for any recent actions involving Sims 4 or the EA App.  Even Windows Defender could be interfering.

If you don't see anything there, please list the game's install location, as in, the file path you see in the EA App under Sims 4 > Manage > View properties.  The default is C:\Program Files\EA Games.

I am also having this issue! The repairs weren't working so I uninstalled and reinstalled and it is still not working at all. I don't even play with mods so it isn't related to that.

Spent hours on this so I hope EA fixes this soon.

Same issue as here

did u manage to fix it ive been dealing withn same thing for 7 hours now factory reset my laptop and everyhing stll isnt working

This is what is happening with mine on PC, no mods. I've tried restarting computer, repairing twice, folder reset, even opening from desktop launcher. It keeps popping up saying repairs needed. The first repair completed but fixed nothing as I got the same notification again. Two more attempts at repair stop at around 75% saying something went wrong. I've tried clearing the EA app cache and it still won't run

I was able to play just fine last night even after updating but now in my WD protection history, it's showing the the game is flagging as a trojan. I tried adding it to my Windows Defender exclusions list, restarting my computer and it still didn't work. The repair bar now just keeps restarting itself. 

Thank you. I have followed all the hints, unfortunately without success :-( Google Gimini says to delete the windowser defender protection history, but I have already tried/ it does not work. Hopefully there will be an update from EA soon.

did it work? im having the same issue

I'm having this exact issue. It was working fine last night. I've repaired multiple times, cleared cache, restarted, run as administrator. I am getting the message from Windows Defender (below). I've even tried looking at the WD settings and making sure all access is granted for EA/the sims. puzzlezaddict​, for me, the install location is [S:\The Sims 4].

I have steps on how to fix this if you do not want to wait the "coming days" listed below

Omg yes please help lol.
