I FOUND THE SOLUTION

Also, you can get rid of that popup msg in Origin client by editing the local.xml file;
Stop origin client loading EA app message;
1. Open C:\ProgramData\Origin\local.xml in notepad
2. Add new key there:
<Setting key="MigrationDisabled" type="1" value="true" />
This should go at bottom just above the last line which is "</Settings>."
Save the file and exit. Now launch Origin and that stupid notice will be gone.
Congrats...you can now play your games properly.
Also, set Origin settings to not automatically update. You can manually update games from in the library if you think there's an update you need for it.
Everyone should be aware....with these fixes in here....it's just a matter of time before they delete this thread.....just like they did my last one.
this is the missing key to the puzzle
by blocking api1 you do no remove the setting* from the xml, but since I restored mine, it never shows!
I assume if the Api1 is not blocked and ea pushed a 'removal' of the migration, the xml will be updated.
the
api1.origin.com
is the domain it uses to check for updates, which also happens to be how it fetches data to write to the xml.
*-presumably another setting to show it or disabled set to false and hence, it shows it
@markomitic81 perhaps the latest origin version has something broken? and it's not the fix affecting it?
Good point @speedracer523 because even after editing the xml File, there is indeed scope for that to be later over-written with another version if the upgrade push does that.
I opened Origin and disabled all permissions that I could see, including Notifications and updates.
That may be enough, but if I get locked out again by the forced EA App upgrade pop up, then I'll know the XML has been put back to where it was.
So far, so good. But I am aware now that the XML may need to be re-edited, and other steps taken to stop that being re-edited back to where it started.
So far I don't think they'll push an origin version that shows the prompt no matter what
as I believe there needs to be some kind of backwards compatibility or otherwise for testing purposes that they'd have to build in
And I think the origin login and ea app login goes through the same thing
even if there is a pc specific origin thing that it needs, it's likely just a thing they differentiates it from mac as an url query or something
so until the ea app is ready for all, everyone should stick to what works (origin)
