Must restart PC each time I want to play

★ Novice

I’m using Steam. I have to reboot my computer each time that I want to launch the game. Once I restart the computer, I can play the game once. Once I exit and try to play again, it won’t launch - I click on “play”, the button changes to “stop” for a few seconds, and then back to “play” without anything happening. I’ve trying killing both Origin and Steam and reopening, but the only thing that works is restarting the whole computer. Any way to fix this? Thanks!

Re: Must restart PC each time I want to play

@geekily  Do you see anything in the Task Manager related to Origin, Steam, or Sims 4 after you've quit the game and both launchers?  Check the background processes list; I used to see an EA background service still running after I quit Origin until I used msconfig to prevent it from running at all.  (It's related to the EA Desktop App, but for whatever reason Origin launches it too.)

 

Please also let me know whether you use OneDrive.
