Origin

I do not know the correct place to post this. But, every so often, normally after Origin updates, the application sets itself to run on startup. In other words, the application will switch from being disabled when I boot up my PC to being enabled. When I turn on my system, I'm not always going to play Apex, so it annoys me when the application switches it self to start up, regardless of the countless of times I told it not to.

Anything I can do to keep it from re-enabling it self? (Go to task manager -> startup, this is what I mean).

  • Hey @Midnight9746

    Have you checked your Origin settings to see if the Automatically start Origin option is enabled? If you open the settings and click on the Application tab you should see a section called Start-up Options. Try disabling this option if it's currently active. That should prevent the Origin client from starting up automatically when Windows boots up. 

    Let me know how it goes when you can.

    @EA_Kent That fixes it. Origin doesn't even show up on the startup menu in task manager now. Thanks! Updated to Season 4 without it toggling back on.
