Re: [Apex] Origin Installation Issues

Maybe you should reboot?

Because restarting, aka rebooting, your computer is the magical remedy every PC needs once a day.
When you restart your computer, you are essentially dumping the trash and starting off fresh again.

1. Benefits of restarting
While restarting is certainly not a cure-all solution, it is a quick fix to small errors or connectivity issues and should be the first thing you do if you are experiencing problems. So, what exactly does a daily restart cure?

Restarting fixes:
drives that aren’t mapping
printing issues
small bugs
Windows running slow
Internet Edge, Google Chrome, Firefox or any other program running slow
Internet or Wi-Fi problems
small errors by installing updates
clears your computer’s memory

2. Why?
A restart will wipe away the current state of the software allowing any misbehaving code to replenish itself.1 A computer restart simultaneously restarts software to square one, enabling programs to perform at their best. Put simply; you’re removing the junk and starting again fresh.

A restart won’t just fix issues. It will also prevent potential problems and provide benefits such as:

Fast performance – the longer a computer is left on, the slower the performance will be. Processes and applications will use more and more memory and processor resources, causing your PC to run slow. Similar to a good sleep every night will help you perform your best the following day!
Saves time – avoid sacrificing time calling a tech support for them to ask “Have you tried turning it off and on again?”
Performs updates (the recent WannaCry / WannaCrypt attacks highlight vulnerabilities of PCs that aren’t updated regularly!)
Internet and printer connectivity.
Security Risk – leaving a PC on with applications open can be a security risk, a restart will log all users off.
Avoid arguably the most annoying prompt – “Would you like to restart your computer now?”
Next time you’re freaking out about PC issues, why not try restarting it? It may just save you a lot of time!

3. Key warning signs it’s time for your PC’s daily restart:
It is making a significant amount of noise
Feels very hot
Running slow
Programs are crashing
