Origin not showing up + unable to reinstall

[m3rcurias]

Out of nowhere, Origin won't show. It appears in my taskbar but there is no visual for it. I closed it and reopened, nothing. Restarted my PC, nothing. Cleared the caches, nothing. So I uninstall in preparation for a reinstall but when I go to open the setup, the installer isnt visible. SO FRUSTRATING. Saw someone say to change your PC resolution so i did that but it didn't help.

At this point I look into getting my games on steam only to realize that to transfer my DLC I need to open Origin. Which I can't do. What the helllllllll!

I've used Origin forever and I feel like these bugs come out of nowhere. I didn't update it or change anything. If there was something I could do to prevent it, Pleaaaase Tell MEEE. Attached my processor and ram specs. Using Windows 10, PC manufactured by HP

• Download and install all available Windows Updates
• Run System File Checker to ensure the integrity of your Windows System files: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
• Perform a clean boot before retrying the Origin installation: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 or http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/

Thanks.

So. This issue is an incompatibility with drawing programs/graphics tablet software and Origin. Neither will run properly while the other is up. I spent a long time on microsoft support, Clean booted etc and that's the conclusion I've come to. This is something that Origin should probably look into considering how many users are creatives who use both software.

Thank you so much. I was getting so frustrated trying over and over again and as soon as I closed Paint Tool Sai, it installed no problem.

Happy this could help! Hopefully the incompatibility is solved soon
