Hi
@t38m,
That error usually is bypassed by right-clicking the Origin icon and run Origin as Administrator, though I have heard of people for whom it didn't work.
In that case, I suggest you clear the Origin cache:
1. Completely log out and close down Origin
2. Hold down the Windows key and R
3. Type in "%ProgramData%" (without quotes) and click OK
4. Now open the Origin folder.
5. Delete all the files and folders in the Origin folder, except for LocalContent (do not delete this one)
6. Hold down the Windows key and R
7. Type in "%AppData%" (without quotes) and click OK
8. This will take you to a Roaming folder, which is located inside of AppData. Delete the Origin folder
9. Click on the word "AppData" at the top of your window
10. Open the Local folder here
11. Delete the Origin folder listed here
12. Restart your PC
Then turn off firewall (or enable the needed port forwarding for Origin) turn off your antivirus and antimalware and start Origin with administrative rights (as explained in the beginning).
