Hello everyone,
I encountered this problem after updating from win7 to win10. When attempting to launch Origin.exe I get the following error message:
"Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\Origin.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
I talked with the support and did a clean install of Origin (deleted program data and registry and all that) but the problem still persist. Now what I did to fix it temporarily is the following:
1- Go to your Origin.exe folder
2- Rename Origin.exe to something else i.e. "Originn.exe"
3- If Origin starts with downloading updates, change it back to "Origin.exe"
4- After finishing updates, rename to something else again.
I don't know what Windows 10 issue with some executable files, it is giving me the same problem, same error with Adobe Acrobat Reader when trying to open any .pdf file. Hope this helped
Solved! Go to Solution.

@SpaceTimeDream Hi,
Thank you very much for the heads up, it seems that a few people have been affected with this issue since updating to Windows 10. We will keep this in mind and mark this thread as resolved just in case anyone else is looking for an answer to this issue.
Cheers,

I only had the Origin and Originer entries, but deleting them worked like a charm.
Thanks!
