What happens when origin doesn’t open or doesn’t respond after launch?
A lot of users are reporting that when they run the Origin client to play their favorite game, the client either doesn’t respond or doesn’t launch at all. Sometimes the program runs in the background and can be seen in the task manager, while other times, it just minimizes into the system tray.
What causes Origin to act like this?
Before we go into details on how these issues could be fixed, we need to determine the possible causes. These can range from a fault in the origin cache to a buggy update. Here are the most frequent scenarios.
Method 1: Letting the Origin client update
You will need to check whether the origin updater is updating the origin client on the back-end, if it is, then trying to run origin while it is updating causes the client to not respond. You can do that by following these steps
Method 2: Deleting the Origin cache files
In order to load faster, Origin creates cache files and stores the most frequently used data in them. It checks on each startup if whether it needs those files and if so, it loads them from the cache instead of downloading them again. If the files are not stored, then they are created. Over time these files could pile up and get corrupted. Deleting these files might fix the issue. Here’s how you could do that.
Method 3: Deleting the Origin’s temporary files
Origin keeps creating temporary files in the AppData folder, these files could sometime cause the origin to not respond. Deleting these files would cause the origin client to create fresh files that might solve the issue. These files are hidden by default, so we will have to unhide them first.
Method 4: Reinstalling the Origin client
If all the above methods have failed, then the last option is to first uninstall the old Origin client and then install it again using the latest setup. This will only delete your Origin client and not your games, but you will have to re-add them.
