Re: Origin online login is currently unavailable after Origin update

It's been posted before, but if you are just jumping to the end, here it is...This is a temporary workaround

You have to uninstall the Origin Client, then download and install an older version of the client (the version before the problem was introduced).  Support gave me a they :

 

https://origin-a.akamaihd.net/Origin-Client-Download/origin/live/OriginSetup_10_5_41_27263.exe

 

The only problem is, every time you exit and restart the Origin client, it will force you to update to the broken version again.  So you will have to uninstall and reinstall ... again.

 

Still no permanent fix.

Everyone who tried everything with the help page and such try removing your USB mass storage devices like USB sticks. This fixed my issues and took me two days to find! 

 

Origin and EA, please fix this embarrassing bug.

I just looked at my USB and I have nothing about mass storage. So nice try I am glad it works for you. Cone on EA this is getting ridiculous it's been at least a month Please get this fixed. I am tired of loading and unloading a old client.

None of these solutions work, not even downloading an older client. EA can you please just * fix this so I can play Battlefront 2 when the new update comes out. I'm already sick of having to wait over a month for this to be resolved.

Guys, try to disable USB Mass Storage in windows 10 then the latest Origin client will work as it should be...

i don't know what is the relation between origin and the storage driver which is not even active...but it works, nothing else worked for me.
I have the latest Windows 10 1903 (build 18362.295)
Steps you have to follow:

  1. Close Origin (right click on the taskbar and quit)
  2. Press the windows button and start search for Device Manager
  3. Make sure you have no USB stick or external drive connected to your laptop/PC.
  4. Search for Univer Serial Bus controllers - should be on the bottom
    If you can't find USB Mass Storage Device try this: Click on View (on top of the Device Manager window) and click Show hidden Devices
  5. Right click on USB Mass Storage Device
  6. Now you can launch the latest Origin client and login online
  7. Throw me a thumbs up!
  8. GL HF

I thought this will not work, but looks like magic happens!
