1.	Solve : EA Games "Origin" Service - Want to manual start service vs auto start?
Answer» Installed EA Games "Origin" service when installing Dragon Age II , which was an activation requirement. Walked over to my idling computer tonight after it was at desktop with nothing running and saw core activity on WINDOWS 7 and was curious as to why there was 75% CPU usage. Opened task manager and saw Origin service was using 63% and killed service bringing CPU back to 1% Was going to set this service in services to manual since I don't trust it now that it was running something when idle which was unnecessary and suspicious, and can't locate it in the windows services list under services.msc . Its not under EA or Origin or another name to easily identify. Anyone know what the service is CALLED in windows services for Origin Game Service, or an easier way to pin point its service name so i can make it a manual started service VS automatic? Google search came up dry for me. DAUpdaterSvc https://help.ea.com/article/my-dragon-age-origins-dlc-is-unauthorized-or-not-there I finally found where its triggering to start. Went into MSconfig and found it as for its not in windows services view where I expected to find it since its an autostart process. Now to figure out how to make it manual start vs automatic. Looked for the Quote DAUpdaterSvc but none found. Below are pics of it found in MSconfig and the process name in Processes under Task Manager. Wonder if I should remove the -AutoStart from the call and leave it there or delete it completely from MSconfig and then start it manually via a shortcut to Origin.exe [year+ old attachment deleted by admin] Quote from: DaveLembke on OCTOBER 07, 2012, 05:07:24 PM Wonder if I should [...] delete it completely from MSconfig and then start it manually via a shortcut to Origin.exe That's what I would do. Thanks... the good thing is that the game works without the service running. So I will leave it installed but disabled for now. Looks like EA Games is trying to make their own Steam Client like service and they called it Origin. Removed it from startup in MSconfig.
