    try this first Launch Origin and log in with your account - Click Origin in the top left (main menu) - Select Application Settings - From General tab, scroll down to "Update to the beta version if available" and tick the checkbox - Restart Origin also another thing to try is this If that doesn’t help close the origin client and go directly to you origin folder C:\Program Files\Origin Games. Run the origin.exe in this folder with a rightclick -> run as administrator restart the computer or C:\Program Files\(x86)Origin
