Origin Could not connect to internet. [ Edited ]

@coronel007The solution works for systems with Genuine Microsoft License. Ask Help from a local PRO technician, this is also a good choice.

Thanks for the link I did try this method but unfortunately it didn't work, however i found another that did.

Program files (x86) > Origin > Right click on Originthinsetupinternal > Properties > Digital Signatures 

Check if any of the signatures are not trusted, one of mine wasn't so had to be reinstalled. Then restart computer and this worked for me.

Hope someone can get theirs fixed from this method.

@zigzog45There a single file signature there, and nothing related with the issue. You better scan your entire hard-drive for files corruption. Too much of overclocking, it does cause such unseen damage.

The point is that the bogus certificate issue, will return at 7-2022.

All of you, keep notes of how you got resolved it, for future use.

@AX-1_THE_GREEKthat certificate official from EA, embedded in Origin files, and EA renew it regullary, as i understood. Last time 20 august 2021.
I installed the TRUSTED CENTER, not the certicifate. It's vald till 2038.

YES!

Russian it's a bit diffucult to understand, but you're the only one in many years to solve this problem (EA should give you a job).

Thankyou very much!

[Jannina_Hofmann]

Good job ! Thank you very much !!!

[AX-1_THE_GREEK]

@PPM17779 Your understanding is wrong ( I love Russians too). But in this case Windows should do the job automatically. Your operating system has severe issues. Buy a genuine License so to avoid much of cooking and workarounds. Microsoft authorizes the certificate as trusted, not ORIGIN.

[StuffyMarx]

That worked for me. Thank you ever so much, I had just about written off any solution until the next monthly update.
