I want to stop Origin from delaying the close down.

I cant find the list of programs re. startup/close down.
I thought it was in "Startup", but its not taking me there.

Any help thanks

    Click on start and in the box type config (it used to be config.sys but it seems to be just config now) and click on system configuration.

    Or msconfig and click on the startup tab ?
    Also, not sure what OP means by Origin delaying closedown. You man startup? You may be more interested in services.msc

    I'm presuming that when OP shuts down his PC he's seeing a message that the Origin application needs to close before shut down can complete (or something like that). If I'm right then you could right-click on the Origin icon in the system tray and select Exit/Close - do this before shutting down the PC.
