If it does, can you open the Task Manager (Ctrl-Shift-Esc) and manually shut down the game process, and try launching from Origin again?

Have you noticed any sort of pattern for the 10% of time the game does open up normally? Also, can you try disabling your anti-virus as a test, as well as the clean boot?
I dont think there is any pattern when the game is open. It runs perfectly fine. My anti virus is windows defender but i have tried and i still get the same results.
