Origin won't download/install any games.

I was trying to update Dragon Age Inquisition but Origin wouldn't download the update at all. It just said Queued and wouldn't actually download. Nothing showed up in the download queue window either. Uninstalled the game, tried to reinstall and the same thing happened. This happens with every game on my account, physical or digital copy. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Origin, turned the computer off and on again, still doesn't work. No error messages show up either. Any help would be appreciated.

    @Afgaadhs There are a few issues going on here it seems, but please do a Clean Boot, enable Safe Mode Downloading (Application Settings  - Advanced, top left corner of Origin client and Origin menu) and then try the download again. If the same happens, leave it running for like 5 minutes and then try installation from disc.

    If it is the same with disc installation, please run a new OER and post the ID.

    I have this problem too. No downloads work. Have tried running as admin, safe mode downloading, reboot, CCleaner, going through cmd... Still no luck.

    The Origin Error Report ID is:

    EDIT: Hold on! Did a Clean Boot as a last resort just after I posted this and now it seems to work

    I'm having a similar problem, I've bought a brand new game (The Sims 4) and i set up an Origin account specifically for the game and my install won't move off 0%. I've been trying for around an hour but nothing has changed.

    Hello, I have the same problem... I have done as you advised but it only says DOWNLOAD IN QUEUE, and nothing changes.  I really hope there is anyway to fix this because I haven't been able to resolve this for over 5 months... Sometimes it starts dowloading and then it stops. I couldn´t update and i tried uninstalling and installing again but now it won't download. Please help!

    I had the same issue with games not downloading. close Origins down, go to appdata origins folder and remove all files there, then restart origins and should work now..To get to appdata hold down windows key then press R. In the run box type %appdata% then hit enter.
