Origin won't download/install any games.

I was trying to update Dragon Age Inquisition but Origin wouldn't download the update at all. It just said Queued and wouldn't actually download. Nothing showed up in the download queue window either...

    @Afgaadhs There are a few issues going on here it seems, but please do a Clean Boot, enable Safe Mode Downloading (Application Settings  - Advanced, top left corner of Origin client and Origin menu) and then try the download again. If the same happens, leave it running for like 5 minutes and then try installation from disc.

    If it is the same with disc installation, please run a new OER and post the ID.

Hello, I have the same problem... I have done as you advised but it only says DOWNLOAD IN QUEUE, and nothing changes.  I really hope there is anyway to fix this because I haven't been able to resolve this for over 5 months... Sometimes it starts dowloading and then it stops. I couldn´t update and i tried uninstalling and installing again but now it won't download. Please help!

I had the same issue with games not downloading. close Origins down, go to appdata origins folder and remove all files there, then restart origins and should work now..To get to appdata hold down windows key then press R. In the run box type %appdata% then hit enter.
