So the download paused on it's own or did you pause it ?

 

What's your operating system ?

I'm having the same problem. I left my Sims 3 game downloading last night through the morning because I knew that the digital download would take a while. This morning I was excited to play, but when I opened the Origin tab, it was paused at 88%, and there was a pop-up saying: An unexpected error occured: error 131086:0

So now I'm pretty much lost as on how to fix this but right now I'm trying to see if it has to do with the system requirements.

Operating system: Windows 6.0

Mine says " Origin needs to download files and is waiting for permission, pls choose "Yes" when windows prompts you for permission" I was at 82%, close Origin, shutdown my pc and went to sleep. I wake up, turn on my pc, open Origin and continue my downloading game and says waiting for permission, there were no pop-ups saying Yes or No. NEED HELP!

Re: cant unpause origin download

@katie_2911xx  Normally, you'd open Origin, wait a minute for it to load fully (it can take a bit of time), click on the download manager in the lower left corner of your screen to expand it, and then click the pause icon next to your download.  It should restart within a few seconds.  Is this not working for you?  If not, please take a screenshot of what you see in Origin's download manager.

I assume this has now been resolved but if not, restarting Origin fixed the issue for me.
