    Hi,

    Here's more info:

    • The Origin Client Service is Origin's main service and what runs the program on your system.
    • The Origin Helper Service is used by Origin for low priority tasks, including checking if your system is idle in case Origin is ready to download and install new updates - see here for more info. It sync the Origin client with the Origin website.

    While recommended to be turned on, the Origin Helper Service can be turned off. The Origin Client service should be running on your system to make sure Origin works properly.

    Hope that helps!
