EA Games (Origin) not starting

[AgentKenny]

They don't start through origin either, i bought 2 games on steam that made me install origin they were working fine in the beginning when i first bought them. Now i decide to play them again and they just won't launch. Battlefront 2 is the only game that launches through origin (Epic Games)
Is this a steam issue or a origin issue? I would love any help!

It's an origin issue if the game reaches the "log in to Origin service" stage and fails...

Reinstall your Origin launcher. Sometimes those launchers break and 'forget' to download a fix automatically.

I already tried reinstalling, didn’t fix my problem.

Okay let's break it down:

When the games LAST correctly played/opened, were you on EXACTLY the same computer?

WHEN did they stop working? What changed between then and now? Any hardware, drivers, software updates (operating system or card/hardware)?

I last played them on the same system a few months ago, and yeah there been some driver updates and windows updates…

Look into whether the Windows installation changed your firewall settings. It's been known w10 to change your settings on scanners and firewalls, so make sure that no origin or steam files are being quarantined first off. That will prevent them from working at all if the machine thinks that they're 'bad' and has removed them from use.

I can't say for sure that's it, obviously. But if they worked before, and now they aren't working, and your OS updated, that may very well be the problem.

Nope, nothing is blocking anything. I tried a ton of stuff reinstalled Origin, did a clean boot, reinstalled the game. Nothing is working. I decided to give up. The only way to fix it is by doing a factory reset probably but i aint doing it because it's a complete waste of time.
