Origin launcher keeps pulling out of the game to the desktop.

I'm having the same exact problem specifically after the last update which was done yesterday! 

It keeps on popping out of the game as if I hit the windows button or Alt + Tab, contacted EA 3 times and they gave me different solutions, one of them actually giving me the previous version of Origin and of course it asked for an update else you can play only offline.. which is quite annoying.. and I got Origin Access.. which is quite annoying as we do pay money to play.. as well as staying home! 

for god's sake fix your problems.. last week servers problems for 2 days in a row.. this week we have this problem!! 

What I've tried is reinstalling origin, repairing the game, clearing Origin Cache, disabling Firewall and A/V, installed CCleaner and did everything.. the problem is probably from Origin client itself!!

EA you have to fix your things!

@kcjonny77 yup same thing has been happening to me for a few days now. What I notice is Origin client acts like it launches a random game and then that's when I get taken away from whatever I'm doing and it switches to origin. Seems like Origin client is also affecting other games I play as well. When was running COD Modern Warfare, the screen would flicker. I noticed that origin was trying to launch Need for speed without me clicking anything, so I had a hunch that this was causing the problem. I exited origin completely and launched Modern Warfare again, and the screen flickering was gone!
I thought that someone hacked my password, so I changed it, but the same issue persists! When I play BFV, I'm still being pulled from the game and the PC switches to origin client.

I'm having the same issue here as well. This just started for me today.

Same issue here and it seems to be getting worse.  It started couple days ago.  Origin has been crashing also at start-up for about 2 weeks already.

Hello,

It's exactly the same for me too.

I hate to say this, but this was not only intended but planned for. You see, EA is sick and tired of Steam taking the market share of game sales, so they programmed their client to come to the front of the screen always, just to say "look at me, buy from us". The idea that you cannot play what you purchase is secondary to them, not important.

So don't plan on getting this "feature" fixed anytime soon.

As for the client itself, no it does not try to update games, it simply intentionally gets itself in front of any screen you're at, and like I said before, this is intentiontal

Thanks to the user @MADrag0n I was able to fix this ridiculous bug that makes Origin go on top of the Game Window, making us get disconnected from the match.

The thread with the solution is right here:

Basically we have to stop Origin services and then delete the contents on the folders:

"C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License"

and

"C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License"

I want my matches back!

I've lost 6 games to this bug while playing Online Seasons. This is totally unfair! It was not my fault!
