Can't update Origin. Error Code 9.0

Hello, 

It's the second time I have the same "code 9.0" error in less than 2 months. It seems to happen every time there is an Origin update. 

The first time I had to reinstall everything from scratch, erase cache files and all the content I had. When I started to play again I realized I lost my lots, householders... Everything!

As I can see, there are many users that are encountering the same problem over and over again. 

It's not fair that us, the users, have to go through the same process everytime Origin releases an update. It's so frustrating to the point that it makes me not wanting to play again. 

Origin should make sure that all the updates can be done smoothly, which apparently can't. 

Very disappointed once more.

I went through the same error.. I've already done a clean reinstall of Origin. The problem was solved until it decided to update again. Then I've tried something that actually worked: open your Origin folder (mine is C:\Program Files\Origin) then type .exe in the search bar. do these steps with every executable found in the folder: right click > properties > compatibility > run this program as an administrator > ok

@fiadhhh

As above and according to the following link, reinstalling Origin should fix this.

Let us know either way, thanks.

Have the same issue. Tried everything I could find online to no avail. Have uninstalled all sims/origin related files on my laptop. I get as far as origin downloading screen but then get the error. I'm not techy so if I could please get a solution in simple terms that would be helpful. e.g. Step 1 - Press this button...

Thanks

Same thing here. Clean install works once, then the same * just keep happening with the next update. Luckily, downloading the full installer always works.... yet.

@proghead

If it keeps happening during a new update then something on your system isn't allowing that update. Are you perhaps running any anti-malware or anti-virus software that could be blocking Origin?

Don't worry I've had this problem too. I had Sims4 and was playing for ages when it said there was a manditory update for origin.  I have tried uploading it again and again but error 9.0 keeps appearing. The help ive had from EA have not worked and if you found any way please reply
