How do I fix the That didn’t go as planned error in Origin
1. Clear registry entries using Restoro
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.
One such example is Restoro, a program that is lightweight and simple, but can greatly increase your PC’s performance!
- 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

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