What I have tried
-Firewall and offf as well as spyware ect
-uninstalled and reinstalled origin in programs files and programs files(86) and in C/games same issues not matter where it installs
-I have even recently gotten a new hard drive and reinstalled origin through that, same issues
-I have tried a complete reinstall of origin by removing it entirely from the computer (the cach and the registry and any other files)
-Uninstalled Battlefield 4 to tried to reinstall that since uninstalling a Origin I have a whole new set of issues in which when clicking to turn origin on it simply never appears on screen, while in task manager it shows that its running the background. Before this happend I was getting an issue in which when I tried to install the battlefield 4 i would get a "game installation directory is invalid" error in which upon attempting to change the directory Origin would simply crash everytime.
Origin now bascially does not work whatsoever, so what started as a problem with updating B4 has now turned into a problem in which Origin does not work at all.....
Ok,maybe this helps: press your wndows button and r then type in regedit ,search for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 4 and delete the folder. If you have windows 32 bit go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 4 and delete it. I am struggling with the same issues like you and maybe this helps.
Greetings.
