Origin: deactivate autostart - how it works
While installing Origin, you can choose to enable or disable autostart. This setting can also be undone later at any time. We show you how to do this in this article.
Deactivate Autostart from Origin - Here's how
If Origin's Autostart is switched on, the game platform opens automatically every time the system is started. If you want to deactivate the autostart, proceed as follows:
- Start Origin on your computer and log in with your account information.
- At the top of the bar, click "Origin" and then "Application Settings".
- In the "Startup Options" section, disable the "Start Origin automatically" setting.
- Your changes are applied automatically. At the next system start, Origin should no longer open.
If Origin should start automatically, there is another link in the Autostart options. In this case, follow the next instructions to remove the hidden program from the autostart.
