This worked for me, I got it from another post, on here and am just re-posting in case others haven't seen it.
1. Close Origin and services processes (OriginWebHelperService.exe и OriginClientService.exe).
2. Delete all files in 2 folders
"C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License"
"C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License"
3. Start Origin again

Can we get a reply from an admin or community manager in regards to this situation? Is the Origin development team aware of this and working on a fix for the client?

Same issue while playing Apex Legends. Only started when I received a new update for Origin tonight.

Origin PC App -
this started 4/20/2020 - possibly after update.
Origin app would restart on its own and say I'm playing a game that is in my library but I'm not playing the game.
When I'm actually playing a game - Battlefield V - after a couple mins - i lose input of my battlefield game. and it tabs me out saying that Im playing Anthem , or any other game in my library. When I tab back in to my Battlefield game , everything is working again. but after a couple mins it will tab out again
the origin app on my windows 10pc closed down about 3 times and said i was playing need for speed, battlefront 2, then anthem - it cycled through them. then said online during this letter !!!!
I changed my password
I ran a virus checker
i dont see any issues.
Why is it doing this? I checked the computer history trusted - and they are all my computer.
Please help

I was running into the same problem but found a potential workaround. I kept the task manager open on a second screen and it showed that other executables were trying to launch along with an activation process. I uninstalled and reinstalled the games that were trying to launch and it hasn't done it in the last hour. I did notice that it was all the games that had been added with my Origin Access if that helps anyone.

Thanks for posting this. I did exactly as you said and it worked perfectly.

I had the same issue after Origin kept popping up every two minutes for an hour straight, and ironically, it didn't do this until after I updated it
on April 21, 2020.
Origin software stopped popping up like that when I loaded The Sims 4, but then my game had the same issue that yours had - it tabbed out
every two minutes the whole entire time that I tried to play for 2.25 hours.
Glad to know I'm not the only one having this issue!
