In Task Manager make sure Origin Client Service and Origin Web Helper Service were disabled

first "view hidden files and folders" Show hidden files -> https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files-0320fe58-0117-fd59-6851-9b7f9840fdb2
Delete Origin folder in C:\ProgramData\ (Do not delete the LOCAL CONTENT folder in this origin folder)
Delete Origin folder in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\
Delete Origin folder in C:\Users\ <username> \AppData\Roaming\

Suprisingly, it ended working!!

Thanks @Rokebo73 🙂

Below are the steps I followed:

1- Manually uninstall Origin + remove these 3 folders:
a. Delete Origin folder in C:\ProgramData\ (Do not delete the LOCAL CONTENT folder in this origin folder)
b. Delete Origin folder in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\
c. Delete Origin folder in C:\Users\ <username> \AppData\Roaming\
2- Run CCleaner (Health Checkup + Customized clean up + Registry clean up)
3- Restart the router/modem + unplug any electricity source from the computer for a few minutes
4- Do a Clean Boot (deactivating all non microsoft services, only leaving Steam Service).
5- Download the latest version of Origin and install it with admin rights (click right on the launcher and select "Run as administrator").
6- Launch Battlefield 2042 from Steam
7- It worked for me!
