Re: A window pops up and says "Origin Already Running"... what do I do?

  • Right-click on the bar at the bottom of your Windows and choose Start Task Manager
  • Go to the tab Processes
  • Check if you have any process called origin.exe running. If so, kill it.

    Hi @aylakov,

    Does the error still appear if you restart your computer and try again? 🙂

    Good luck,

    Mai
