I had the same problem; I couldn't update anything. I opened the Task Manager and at the bottom of the window opened services and changed OriginClientService and OriginWebHelperService to "disabled" and now it instantly starts downloading.

Can confirm. Spent hours thinking my PC was borked. Thanks EA.

Thank you all for this! Spent hours researching workarounds, and disabling the client did it.
Amazing that the solution had to come from the community, with zero help from the devs. I congratulate them on a fantastic game, but dang does the client and support need some attention.

Oh my god tHANK YOU!! I have done literally everything else to make it work, including processes mentioned previously in this thread, and nothing worked until I followed your suggestion. Thank so much!

I just wanted to confirm that this fixed it for me as well. This took me only 10 minutes of searching, but I got lucky to stumble upon this specific response...
I disabled both services, the Origin Client Service and the Origin Web Helper Service.

Can confirm that disabling the services has resolved the issue. I've been fighting this one for about 4 days now and very upset that I've now missed out on the current "Tides of War" rewards due to it. Live chat was the absolute worst support experience I've ever had. It would be nice if EA could compensate for the bad customer support and send over some coin so I could at least purchase the BAR in BF5 since their Origin client bugs wouldn't allow for me to play.

This is really late to the party, but TRY CLEAN BOOTING YOUR PC!
I tired everything from a hard uninstall and reinstall to deleting temp files and running the program as an administrator.
After restarting my PC from the clean boot, origin was immediately able to download my games.
