Found something that worked for me!
I tried 7 of these solutions, retrying between each one, and none of them worked. Then I tried the solution suggested by HeKeRiax and it worked!
HeKeRiax solution: Don't uninstall Origin, just go to the website and download the OriginThinSetup.exe and reinstall over top of your existing install.
https://www.origin.com/can/en-us/store/download
FYI I'm running Windows 7 x64 on a Core i7-4790k
Other solutions I tried, in case one or two of them are necessary for you:
"Language Change" workaround for Apex Legends
Repair Install of Apex Legends
Update graphics drivers to latest version
Update Origin to latest version
Clear Origin Cache
Check that you have the latest version of Microsoft Visual C++ Redist Versions 2010, 2012, 2013, 2017 (BOTH x86 and x64 versions of each year)
Disable Windows Defender / Microsoft Security Essentials / Antivirus Scanner and try to launch (then re-enable!)
Good luck!

I found a fix for this (I asked EA support) 10 steps.
1. Please click on the Origin menu on the top left of Origin window and select Exit option.2. Please hold down the Windows Key and press R. (This will open the Run dialogue.)
3. Type %ProgramData% and press enter to open ProgramData folder.
4. Delete Origin folder from this ProgramData folder.
5. Type %AppData% and press enter to open Appdata folder.
6. Delete Origin folder from the Roaming and Local folders.
7. Run CCleaner : http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-use-ccleaner-to-fix-pc-issues/
8. Restart your router/modem and do a Clean Boot : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135
9. Make sure that your UAC is enabled and set to notify (if you get option)
10. Download the latest version of Origin and install the client.
