I signed out and signed back in and it helped.
Hope it works out for you too 🙂
This worked for me THANKS!
Log-out/log-in did not work for me.
The steps that worked for me after many different approaches & attempts:
- I've set the switch for Origin cloud saving profile/... to 'on'
- Logged out, closed/killed all Origin tasks in the task manager
- Deleted the folders as described above
- Uninstalled Origin Client (was located on on my D-Drive) but kept my games installed on this drive.
- Restarted and installed the client on the OS (C-)drive
- Logged in and opened my games library
Update of the games was concluded, new games did not end up anymore in the 'preparing for download' state
