Won't let me update Origin on PC for Sims 4

★★★ Newbie

Every time I launch the the Sims 4 app on my PC, it tells me to update Origin under Windows 7, MAC, or anything newer, so I do so and open the app again it tells me the exact same notification pops up, no matter how many times it updates it doesn't launch, my PC is updated to Windows 10 and I cant go back to any previous updates

@Mogan2004 I even tried to delete it and reinstall it twice, but it didn't work

@Mogan2004  Try clearing Origin's cache, then uninstalling it "the hard way."  This shouldn't affect your installed games.

Download the full installer, and run it as an admin: right-click on the download and select "Run as administrator."  This is a direct download link:

Run Origin as an admin too, at least long enough to see whether it works.
