Hi @VolkssturmSoldat

 

The first thing you should do is a Clean Boot  https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/FAQ/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/ 

 

And if the situation remains, you should follow the steps below ;

 

-close Origin

 

-manually uninstall Origin http://help.ea.com/en/article/manually-uninstalling-origin/

 

-then go in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin -delete this Origin folder

 

-clear Origin cache https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/origin/origin/origin-my-games-list-is-blank

 

-delete temp files: open the Start Menu and type %temp%  in the Search field  or click in the Run option in the Start Menu and type %temp% in the Run field.Press Enter and a Temp folder should open. You can delete all files found in this folder, and if any files are in use, they can be skipped.

 

--install Origin as administrator   https://www.origin.com/en-ie/downloa


 

My Opinion is no more important or right than yours.I'm a gamer like you, trying to help you (i'm not an EA employee).

If you want to know us or/and come up with ideas to improve the Origin platform or/and talk about anything and many more besides,you could also visit the NEW section Origin General Discussion https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/bd-p/origin-general-discussion-en
