    This apples to all games:

    1) Reboot your PC.

    2) Right click Red Alert 2 in origin client.

    3) Select "Game Properties"

    4) In 'Command Line Arguments' type: "-w"

    5) Tick "Disable Origin In Game For This Game"

    6) Hit OK and enjoy!

I have the same problem but with C&C RA3, I tried all provided solutions and yet it doesnt work (win10). Blocked rule in firewall, even removed all rules mentioning RA3, reinstalled RA3, repaired files, rebooted PC, rebooted origin, tried to run both as an admin, tried to run RA3 with compatibility mode (with every version there is), disabled "origin in game" and added the -w to command line - The game WONT start. There's not even slightest move, RA3 process doesnt even start (nor does it show in task mngr), most "action" with this was that after hitting "play" in origin, it minimalised it and shown again after 1sec

Any other solutions?

    How I could solve the issue in C&C and covert ops:

    Step1:

    1. Go to Control Panel (the desktop version). 
    2. Clock and Region.
    3. Region.
    4. Click on the Administrative tab on the top.
    5. Under Language for non-Unicode programs, select the button Change system locale, then select English (United States) or tick Beta: use unicode utf-8 for worldwide language support. 
    6. Restart your computer.

    Step2:

    1. Open CONQUER.INI
    2.  Change lines to this:
    3. Resolution=0
      HardwareFills=1
      VideoBackBuffer=1
      Compatibility=1
