Uninstall the EA app, reinstall Origin.
Open it up once and then close it.
Browse to C:\ProgramData\Origin, open local.xml and add this:
<Setting value="true" key="MigrationDisabled" type="1"/>
<Setting key="UpdateURL" value="http://ea.cope/" type="10"/>
<Setting key="AutoPatchGlobal" value="false" type="1"/>
<Setting key="AutoUpdate" value="false" type="1"/>
before the </Settings> tag.
Redo it if Origin overwrites the file or you could try setting it to read-only.
This should provide you with a temporary workaround, where you can continue using Origin, until EA has fixed the problem on their end.
