"The Origins store is currently disabled because it was ..."
I've been having an issue with Origins lately with any games I have purchased on Steam or received on the Epic Games Launcher giving me the error message, "The Origins store is currently disabled because it was launched from another application. Restart Origins to access the store." I am not really sure why I have been receiving this message and it worked about three-four months ago. Normally I wouldn't see this as an issue since I do not buy anything from the Origins store at all, but every time I launch a game, in this case: Dead Space 3, Titanfall 2, Mass Effect: Andromeda, and Star Wars Battlefront 2 it will disable the online portions of the game whether it be multiplayer or any in-game online service it has. I had already looked around for fixes but to no avail have I found anything that solved my issue.
I have also corresponded with the EA support team on multiple occasions getting bogus help, ridiculous solutions or them randomly checking my account details to see if I was banned; which in itself was pretty dumb. Or I was being suggested the same fix by different team members multiple times such as "clear the origins cache" or "check your internet connection."
Any ways, I have already poured through the forums here and tried a few things with no result: clearing the origins cache, running a clean boot, uninstalling and reinstalling the Origins client, updating drivers and I also gave my account details to the not so wonderful support team to check whether or not my account was banned(which it is not to my knowledge). Additionally, any game that is in my library on Origins and not running through a third-party software will work and not disable the store or any online portions of my game, which is bizarre; I tried this with Battlefield 4 but nothing else and the online works fine without any issue.
I'm not sure why this issue is occurring, and if anyone has any other fixes to suggest can you please list them here, that would make me very thankful. Thank you for taking your time to listen to my issue, and hopefully I can return to playing some fun games with my buddies.

In case anyone else has had issues with this same problem I had gotten it to work by just launching the shortcut for the game I would like to play on my desktop, I do not launch it through Origins but it can be open. It still brings up the error on Origins, but it seems to allow online play regardless. Hopefully this and the other solutions in the thread can work for those having the same issue as me.
