@AstoriaRose Try pausing OneDrive syncing before launching Sims 4. You can do so by right-clicking on the OneDrive icon in the lower-right corner of your screen, selecting Pause syncing, and choosing whatever time frame works for you.

Hi, I'm having this exact same issue and I've tried very thing that has been recommended on here. I was wondering what worked for you, if anything 🤔
Thank you

@LadyELF1109 There isn't a current SDX update, so you shouldn't be seeing an error at all. Please post a screenshot of it for reference.

I can't find the EADesktop.exe file on my computer, but the EA app is literally an app I keep pinned to my taskbar at all times.

@trschaiper The .exe should be here:
C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop

Same problem here. I've been reinstalling the sims 4 on my new computer under windows 11 with the new EA app, and can't seem to get rid of this error. I've tried everything mentionned in this thread; adding to the windows firewall, to the ransomware protection, I don't have any other antivirus installed as far as I know, and I've deleted onedrive since it bugged me off, so it should not interfere. I'm at a loss as to what to do now. Any ideas?

@Meitaphore Did you try the suggestion in the accepted solution? And did you try a new admin Windows account? Even if you have no intention of switching accounts overall, it's a useful test.

Hello, thanks for your answear. I had tried the accepted solutions without success, and decided to try a new admin account once the holidays would be over. However, once home, the game started working just fine. I don't know if it's something I did, or if it is linked to the wifi network I was using at my parent's house, but I can now connect to the gallery and the error don't appear anymore. Anyway, thanks again for the quick answear
