origin client wont donwload games

★ Novice

Hi

 

For a few days now I am unable to download any of my games in the Origin client. I have googled forsolutions as well as checking here with no success.

 

Here's what happens. When clicking "download game" it pauses for a awhile ("preparing"). Then I am prompted that Windows are blocking the download and that I should click Accept when prompted but instead the client just stops the download.

 

Here's what I have tried

 

  1. Disabling Windows Defender
  2. Disabling Firewall
  3. Tried different games- none works. not even those that I had before.
  4. Adjusting the UAC
  5. Reinstalled the Origin client a few times
  6. Run and installed Origin client as Admin
  7. Uninstalled all my games, removed all libraries and then tried to reinstall

 

All of these with no success. Please advice. A bit desperate to play my games!

Best regards

Björne

@SN1P3RDADDY  You can try downloading in a clean boot:

But you might only need to disable Origin Client Service and Origin Web Helper Service, not the rest.  This at least works for many people.
