My origin setup won't open

[Xukiinz]

I uninstalled origin because it wouldn't open. When I tried nothing would come up, not even in the task manager. But after I uninstalled it I downloaded the setup and now that won't open whatsoever.
I've tried running it as an administrator and everything is up to date on my computer.

Hello @Xukiinz,

My apologies for the frustration this experience has caused.

There are some things that I can recommend to try (I am assuming you are on Windows PC, if not please let us know):

1. Manually uninstall Origin
2. Do a Clean Boot
3. Download a fresh Origin setup file and when starting the installation, make sure to run it as Administrator
4. Add firewall/antivirus exceptions for Origin

Let us know how you get on.

I know that this was made in 2017, but since it happened to me just now and I was able to fix it I wanted to share it. Even though you haven't gotten to install it, you do need to go to This PC, Local Disk (C, Program Files (x86) and delete Origin. After that is done you can go and download Origin and it should work.

FOUND THE SOLUTION 

IN AMD USERS JUST DOWNLOAD ADRENALINE VERSION GO IN SWITCHABLE GRAPHICS AND PUT ORIGIN HIGHT PERFORMANCE

IN NVIDIA USERS GO AND PUT PC RUN WITH GPU AND RUN PROGRAMS WITH NVIDIA 

THIS IS THE SOLUTION DONT DISABLE ANTIVIRUS 

THIS WORKS!!!!!
