So i've got it so my origin auto boots up when i start the computer. But for the last....2-3 days or so, it "starts" as per say, but i can't actually access it.
It also sits there passively taking up the majority of my CPU usage.
I've tried a full reinstall of the program, but to no avail. I've also taken the liberty of uninstalling the one game i currently had install.
I've also tried running it as Admin but it didn't work either.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Fixed the issue - did a clean boot of the system, and updated windows to the newest update. Unsure which one did the trick, but one of them did.

Update on the potential cause:
So it appears when the app runs properly, that both the Origin Client Service and Origin Web Helper Service both "Stop" running after it launches.
However, when the app stops working (when i did a normal boot up) the Web Helper keeps running. If you stop it, it continues.
I tested this by doing a clean boot, but with only the 2 origin services disabled instead of all the drivers.
When a normal boot occurred (with the services enabled) the issue became apparent.
EDIT: After testing disabling each of the 2 services, the Origin Web Helper Service is the one causing the issue....I'm unsure of a fix at this time.
