    Solved it. No thanks to EA support or anyone here I might add.

    Here is the solution for the many people having the same problem. 

    This applied to any ActivationUI error or task manager only showing the process for a few seconds.

    The exact error I received:

    Spoiler
    ActivationUI.exe - application error


    "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click ok to close the application"


    Solution:
    1. Click Start, and then click Run.
    2. Type Regedit, and then click OK.
    3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\ActivationUI.exe
    4. Delete this whole folder.

    Enjoy gaming with the terrible origin platform dudes!
