Re: "Your download has been Paused."

Try reinstalling 'Origin' at a other location, I had the same problem, after removing Origin (Installed in c:\Program Files (x86)\Origin) and installing it again at an other location (c:\Program Files\Origin) it just worked for me again, not even a reboot required. Good luck

  • thanks so much! This worked for me. I installed origin in D drive instead of C and so far so good!

    Thank you very much! 

    It's finally downloading THANK YOU 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 

  • @mk_foxx Try disable Origin Client Service in the Services Control Panel or using msconfig. That temporary solved the problem for people that recently had trouble downloading anything with Origin.

    It is caused by the Origin client can't communicate successfully with OriginClientService.exe which is supposed to run as a service using System account.

    If you disable that service, Orign client will ask for your permission to grant it access to create and write folder/files. And that'll allow games or update to download and install.

    This is probably work until next Origin update.
