Download Error

[BreakingANail]

Hi!

I bought Discover University and Dine Out via Origin this afternoon and they won't download. I'm getting:

Download Error

We're sorry, Origin was unable to download your game. Please check your internet connection, or try again later.

As far as I'm aware my game is up to date and I've never had this issue before with my downloads.

Any ideas?

I haven't opened Origin/played Sims since January of this year. Just tried today and (after letting Origin update) it says I have an update available for Sims 4. When I click on it I'm getting pop up errors saying the download failed and a dialog box comes up saying "Download error: The download server is not responding. Please give it a few moments and try again. If the problem persists, please contact Origin Help." I've tried uninstalling Origin and trying again but getting the same error.

UPDATE (1 hour later): I checked my Windows updates, there was a random one (not sure what it was for). Let it install and restarted my PC. Went back into Origin and it's decided to work!! Currently installing 3 newly purchased packs.
