Sims 4 won't allow me to click play on PC

I have seen a few threads on the game not starting up and i have even looked through how they have have been solved, however, my problem is that when i get to the loading screen i can click on everything BUT the NEW GAME/LOAD GAME/ PLAY BUTTON. Does anyone know why?

I have updated the current game a few times and it seems completely up to date. i have looked to change my language on the Origin client but it doesn't show other languages! i even got to the point yesterday where i uninstalled and reinstalled the whole game but this hasn't helped either. any ideas what else i can do ?

    @Plankton027 cheers for this, i am just going through various pages now. I've just tried the whole back up/ create a new folder and start up but it still happens that the play button won't register, its blue but it won't let me click on it at all.

    @HoneyPlumbob  You can also try disabling Windows notifications while you play.  Sometimes your computer will think you're clicking the notification "under" the game window rather than something in the game window itself.

    If that doesn't help, disable Game Bar.  Hit Windows key-i, select Gaming, then Game Bar, and turn it off.  You can disable Game Mode too, although that doesn't usually affect clicking.

    @puzzlezaddict Thank you ! i will try this, i've just done the rigmoral of uninstalling Origin and TS4 again and hoping it works okay this time when i install it.

    now you mention it, i reckon it could be the game bar as i know it always pops up when i start it now!
