I moved your post to the Origin section because this seems to be an Origin problem.

Uninstall Origin after this guide. (if the "easy" way don't works, try the "hard" way.)

Then download this version of the Origin installer and install the "OriginSetup.exe" as an administrator. (right click the "OriginSetup.exe" > Run as an Administrator.)

So after reading the problem I was like "Yo, that sounds like the same thing Im going through" so I followed all the steps. First I tried the easy one and unfortunately it didn't work. Then I decided to try the hard one. I followed everything, exactly as the directions said, and wiped origin off completely. When I tried redownloading origin online with the thin set up, it didn't work. Then I tried redownloading origin through the sims 4 disk, and it still wouldn't download. Every time I try to open sims or origin it says the same thing, "Origin.exe - Application Error
The application was unable to start cirrectly (0xc0000022). Click OK to close the application." I really don't know what to do. I keep trying different things but the end result is always the same thing,
"Origin.exe - Application Error
The application was unable to start cirrectly (0xc0000022). Click OK to close the application." WHAT DO I DOOOOOO!?

  Try this version of the installer.
  
  Run the installer as an Administrator. (Right click the "OriginSetup.exe" > Run as an Administrator.)
  
  If that don't works, create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply.
  
  You can attach the DxDiag text file to your post in the “Reply” window with the “Choose File” button.

    Bought Sims 4 and while trying to download it to my Windows Surface an error kept popping up. I went through the steps and all and nothing seems to allow the Origin software to be downloaded. You can email me at [edit: email address removed]. Thank you
