Origin denied access to folder
My BF4 suddenly (I say suddenly because this happened without me doing anything to my computer) can't update the latest game update; I get an error message like "Origin was denied access to the following file/folder." I have attached a picture with the exact error message. I checked this file and folder; the ownership of it belongs to my administrator user account on my computer, and there is only this single account on my computer. How to fix?
First of all you should close Origin and then start origin as administrator and see if that fixes things.
If not then it's probably due to a corrupted file which means you should:

- run a system file check: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-do-i-run-the-sys

- repair BF4 and DLC's
- try running a clean boot: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-yo

- Add the new BF4.exe file to all your firewalls
- Remove the settings folder in C:\Users\username\Documents\Battlefield 4\
