[PC] Mass Effect 3 freezes after resume

After I finished the game I decided to play the DLCs, so I downloaded them. In the main menu when I click on resume, the game freezes, and nothing can be done, unless I ended the game in the task manager (only if not in full screen mode) if it is in full screen mode, Task manager will not open, and I have to restart my PC.

I tried almost everything, Restart, uninstall and reinstall, the game, drivers, origin, Windows update, DirectX, I disabled my AV...., disabled Origin in game as some suggested.

    First, open your Task manager > click on "Options" > enable "Always on top".

    Now you should be able to see the task manager even if ME3 is in full screen mode.

    Did you tried to repair the game? (in Origin > Game Library > right click ME3 > Repair)

    If that don't helps, go to your "Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3" folder and move the "Save" and the "BIOGame" folder to your desktop. > Test.

    @holger1405 Many thanks, btw I tried to repair, but forget to mentioned, deleting those two folders did the trick, and my cloud save still there.
    Thank you again.
