Automatically starting up Origin
« on: September 16, 2011, 03:36:48 AM »
Since I've downloaded the newest update to be able to install sims from the Store I've got the Origin started up always automatically when starting up my computer. Is there a feature to turn this option off?

Yes.
Click the settings button (it's on the left side of the '?' button on the top of the window of Origin), click 'settings' and scroll all the way down.
Untick the box "Automatically start Origin when I log on to Windows".

Scroll all the way down? I think I have a problem with that option, as there isn't anything to scroll here. I'm having the Dutch version (to bad I couldn't choose, it seems) but that shouldn't be a problem.
Can you please be a bit more precise?

I made a picture! :D I hope it helps. I changed my Origin's language to English but I assume you'd have same settings?

Thanks for helping me out with pictures! That's pretty convenient. But now I see that I don't have the text 'on General settings scroll down here==>' That part is empty for me, and I've changed my language settings to English US also. Strange.

I turned mine off going into "msconfig" on my computer and did it that way.

I don't have that part either.  But if you scroll down you should see those options at the bottom of the page.  That's where they are on mine, anyway.
