Hi - I have downloaded Origin onto a new computer and every time I try to select a game it attempts to download the game then pops up with an error message "Your Download Has Been Paused - Origin needs to download files and is waiting for permission. Please choose "Yes" when Windows prompts you for permission". However, nothing ever prompts me for permission and I've tried quite a few times over the past month.
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

I'm also still having this issue after trying this. I've also given Origin full control, and uninstalled and reinstalled Origin multipul times.
Nothing seems to work. It's very frustrating, and a lot of people seem to have this problem on other forums. Origin is very dissapointing.
