@ShadowGhoul You are my savior! Yours is the only solution that worked for me after EA forced an Origin update. Thanks so much for posting this here.

Also, type msconfig>Services select "Hide all microsoft services" box at the bottom and disable (uncheck) Origin Client Service & Origin Web Helper Service. Restart PC

@ShadowGhoul You win the internet.  I've been tearing my hear out over this problem for the last four days.  NOTHING I tried made any difference whatsoever.  But doing this immediately fixed the issue.  Thanks!

@ShadowGhoulThnx, BF V finaly starts updating. The first solution that seems to work!
Keep my fingers crossed that it stays this way, only download rate is very low against normal so maybe disabling the client has this side affect

Amazing! I've been so frustrated with this issue, been looking forever for a fix, uninstalled and reinstalled several times, changed privacy settings, changed origins settings via the EA website and the app itself and nothing worked; used that link and not only does the app no longer run as slow as molasses (just changing the install directory took half a minute vs the instant now), but it doesn't constantly crash and most importantly downloads my games you're a saint!
