**Solved!
Below are the steps I followed:
1- Manually uninstall Origin + remove these 3 folders:
a. Delete Origin folder in C:\ProgramData\ (Do not delete the LOCAL CONTENT folder in this origin folder)
b. Delete Origin folder in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\
c. Delete Origin folder in C:\Users\ <username> \AppData\Roaming\
2- Run CCleaner (Health Checkup + Customized clean up + Registry clean up)
3- Restart the router/modem + unplug any electricity source from the computer for a few minutes
4- Do a Clean Boot (deactivating all non microsoft services, only leaving Steam Service).
5- Download the latest version of Origin and install it with admin rights (click right on the launcher and select "Run as administrator").
6- Launch Battlefield 2042 from Steam
7- It worked for me!

Since Thursday September 15th, when I launch the game "Battlefield™ 2042" on Steam or Origin, Origin starts, loads normally with all its features, and then I receive the error message "Well That Didn't Go as Planned".
I cleaned Origin's cache (all 3 folders), restarted my computer several times, used WiseCleaner to clean the registry and remaining files, reinstalled Origin with the latest online version, reinstalled the entire Battlefield 2042 game from Steam, clicked on "Verify integrity of games files", but I still have the same error message.
What intrigues me is that when I start Origin, I have access to all the features. I can even play one of my games by launching it from Origin (Plant vs Zombies).
It's only when I launch the Battlefield game that I get this error message, from Origin and from Steam.
The game was working without any issue the day before.
My GTX 1080 drivers last update was done on Sept 8th.
I saw my Win10 got updated around this time with KB5017308, KB5017500 and KB5017903.
Do you have any recommendations?
Edit
Adding more elements that I tried without success:
- Emptying Steam cache
- Changing router DNS Server from CIRA (Canadian), to ISP, and after to Google
Solved! Go to Solution.

@Rokebo73attached is the DxDiag produced after a clean boot.
After the DxDiag, I relaunched only the Steam Client Service, tried again launching Battlefield 2042 from Steam, and still the same error message.
