  • Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order™. download not working. but show warning message "Your download has been paused
    Origin needs to download files and is waiting for permission. Please choose "Yes" when Windows prompts you for permission.

    Help us improve Origin by submitting an error report."

    Got this error today and was able to find a fix.

    -Close Origin

    -Windows + Tab + X

    -Click "Computer Management"

    -In the Left pane click "Services and Applications"

    -In the middle pane double click "Services"

    -Scroll down to "Origin Client Service" and double click it

    -Under the "General tab" change the "Startup type" drop-down menu to "Disabled"

    -Relaunch Origin - Download your games!

  • where can i find  the "abandon origin for a properly working game platform" button?  old-a$$ issues been around for 5+ * years, still broken AF.  just give up EA, you lost
