@KpoppyJ When I suggested you change the Controlled Folder Access settings, you said you got a message that "Your IT administrator had limited access to some areas." I don't know what that would mean for your setup, unless you're not using your Windows admin account.
ok so, I reopened sims and I got this pop up instead....
@KpoppyJ Some of the solutions for the Origin not running message are the same as for your earlier error: set an exception (this time for Origin.exe) in Controlled Folder Access, and run Origin as an admin. Here are a few others:

Let me know if any of them helps or changes the error you get.
