Fix Origin keeps verifying game files on Windows
Here's how to Fix Origin keeps verifying game files on Windows PC:
- Check for Windows updates and install any available updates. Updates sometimes include fixes for Origin issues.
- Make sure Origin is completely closed. Open Task Manager and end any Origin processes and services running in the background.
- Browse to the Origin installation folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin). Delete the OriginThinSetupCache folder. This forces a clean re-install on next launch.
- Open Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Origin. Delete the VersionCache folder. This clears the version cache.
- Disable or temporarily uninstall any security software, antivirus, firewall or VPN applications. Some security products can interfere with Origin's processes.
- Change the download region in Origin settings to another location. Try setting it to the nearest metro area.
- Clear the Origin cache by exiting the client, navigating to %ProgramData%\Origin and deleting all files and folders except for LocalContent.
- As a last resort, uninstall and reinstall Origin completely. Make sure to delete any leftover Origin folders before reinstalling.
- If reinstalling does not work, contact EA support for further troubleshooting.
