Bug description
During system shutdown, Origin does not exit gracefully and instead causes an error during shutdown process, disrupting the shutdown process. Origin probably wants the system to wait on it to finish writing a file, but instead it just shows an error message and disrupts shutdown.
Error message is
Origin.exe - Application Error --- The exception Breakpoint A breakpoint has been reached. (0x80000003) occurred in the application at location 0x00000000057C7EF3. Click on OK to terminate the program
Photo is attached. (It would really be nice to be able to insert the photo in this text without uploading it to a separate image host prior to creating the text.)
This bug is present on fresh installs of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows 8.
Is this a duplicate?
Searched for "Origin Breakpoint" and "Shutdown". No bugs matched.

This likely happens because Origin is running installers, which handle file operations themselves. It would be nice if Origin can somehow use a staging area and then hotfix the links after installation, guaranteeing atomicity of the game installation.

Were there any fixes to this issue?

Has been happening to me since last week. Freezes computer after quitting SWBF2. Only way to continue is a hard computer stop power down.
SWBF2 appears to close but origin can't see it close. It's like it is using a microphone. I can see it open in the lower right taskbar that SWBF2 is using a microphone.
Just started like last week.
