Re: Update Popup Freezes Up Screen When Trying to Exit Popup

@FitoBoy13  If you want to troubleshoot further, try disabling the Origin in-game overlay.  The setting is under Application Settings > Origin in-game.

If that doesn't help, try playing in a clean boot:

When you reboot, go through the Task Manager's background processes list shutting down anything that doesn't absolutely need to be running.  If you accidentally kill the wrong process and it doesn't restart on its own, just reboot your computer.

    @puzzlezaddict Thank u - I will keep this in mind (about the clean boot) actually I can put up with the 20-30 second freeze, but if it gets too bad, I'll do the above option u gave me. Thanks for your reply.
