Origin does not start - what to do?

The joy of the game session is suddenly reduced if Origin does not start. We'll show you how to get your games back.

Origin does not start - it may be because of it

There can be several reasons why the Origin client does not start.

1. The Origin client has occasional problems with the resolution settings of the computer, especially if you use multiple monitors. Therefore, reduce the screen resolution (instructions: Windows 7 / Windows 8). When Origin reappears, you can go back to your regular resolution.
2. If Origin still does not start, update your graphics card driver. It is possible that the client cannot be displayed correctly.
3. Check that the Origin icon appears on your taskbar. In the lower right corner there is a small arrow, click on it and make sure that the logo is there. When you find the icon, right click it and choose "My Games".
4. You can also check whether Origin is already running but is not displayed correctly. To do this, press [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [Esc] at the same time to open the Task Manager. Stop the Origin processes there and restart Origin.
5. If none of these methods work, uninstall Origin and set it up again.
