windows never gives me a prompt to click "yes" on.  we have robooted, emptied files tried reinstalling the update several times

@io9us095po7n  Hit Windows key-R and enter "services.msc" without quotes.  Scroll through the list to where Origin Client Service and Origin Web Helper Service are listed; for each one, double-click, select "Disabled" under Startup type, and click Apply to save the changes.  Then try to download again.  You may need to restart your computer for it to work.

This worked for me.

Starting Origin again (not admin) asked me to log in, then the game started downloading and did not ask for any permissions.

make sure the "del" part of the command is included at the start. its confusing as its written on a different line.

this workaround worked for me and im now downloading again.

this is a very odd problem but then origin doesn't even have windows snap compatibility so no wonder its tripping up over its own feet.

Yes. This fixed the problem for me too.

Thank you so much.

I had to stop the origin client first before running those two del commands though.

@Straatford87 This solved the issue for me when I had the problem downloading the January 14 update for Apex Legends. Thanks!

@Straatford87 This solution doesn't work.
I gave Origin administrator rights; didn't work.
The Windows prompt never shows up. Nor before the administrator rights, nor after it. Nor does it automatically run, having administrator rights.

@Straatford87 NO IT DIDNT WORK

 3 days in a row; still no solution. 
Fifa20 is not updating, because of the 'Waiting for permission' error. 

Updated Origin this morning, didn't change a thing. 

I've sent in 3 reports now, the latest one being:
