Origin won't download

★★★★ Novice

I had Origin working a few days ago but it wouldn't recognize my Sims 4 base game even though I could play it.  I talked to a person from Origin who suggested I uninstall and reinstall Origin and now SURPRISE! it doesn't want to download.  It's progress will get to 100% but then nothing else happens.  Why can't EA drop Origin?  What happened to the days where you can just pop in a disk and it's installed? I have a HP laptop and run on Windows 10.

- disable any antivirus software

- close Origin, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc and terminate other Origin related processes
- delete folders:
C:\ProgramData\Origin\
C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Origin\
C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\Origin\
C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License\

 

- download this installer and run it as Admin

- run Origin as Admin

It seems to have worked for now. Hopefully it will keep working properly when Origin rolls out with another "update".  Thanks!
