I realized my last message might have sounded sarcastic. I just didn't want to not say thanks so I added it to the end, but I had the tab open and just reread it and it sounded rude to me. Sorry if you read it and thought that too!
@TheSaturday6 I didn't think you were being rude or sarcastic, but then I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt if their previous posts have been pleasant, as is the case here.
You said you disabled your security, but did you also check your Controlled Folder Access settings? If not, please disable that too, at least long enough to test.

I'd also like to know what security software you're using. A few other people have reported the same issue, and I'm curious if there's something in common among you.

Oh good! I am using ESET and I am on Windows 11. I looked around in the settings on Windows Defender and did not see the Controlled Folder Access because it just has options for ESET.

@TheSaturday6 That's not unusual: Windows Defender usually disables itself when it detects a third-party antivirus, since having two security programs running side by side can do more harm than good. (That doesn't always happen, hence the need to check.) I haven't heard from anyone else who uses ESET, but then not everyone has listed their antivirus yet.
The only other suggestion I have at the moment is to try using your phone as a mobile hotspot. (Make sure it's using data, not your home wifi.) The point is to try a different network just in case there's something about your current network that's not getting along with the SDX downloads. That would be odd considering that Origin connects without issues, but it's easy enough to try. If you happen to have a desktop without built-in wifi, I don't think it's worth buying a separate wifi card; this is more of a long shot.
