How do I fix the That didn’t go as planned error in Origin?

1. Clear registry entries using Restoro

  • Download and install Restoro to your hard-drive.
  • Open Restoro and wait for it to finish an initial analysis of your PC
  • Click on the Start repair button to perform a full system repair, which also includes cleaning the registries

Registries are not something one should try to fix manually unless they are very skilled with such data files, and since not everyone is an IT technician, it is best to leave these things to dedicated third-party software.

Cleaning your registries can fix associated third-party programs as well, and this includes the Origin client.

One such example is Restoro, a program that is lightweight and simple, but can greatly increase your PC’s performance!

2. Make sure your Origin software can run normally

  • Click on Cortana search box and type in Windows Defender Security Center -> open it.
  • Select Firewall & network protection.
  • Click the link named Allow an app through firewall.
  • Click on the Change settings button.
  • Scroll down and select Origin from the list (or click Allow another app button if you can’t find it)
  • Make sure that Origin has both Private and Public access by ticking the respective boxes.
  • Press Ok to save the settings.

It is imperative that your Firewall or Antivirus software is not blocking access to your Origin application.
