1. I am the only admin

6. Ran "sfc /scannow" (without quotes) from the cmd line in safe mode (I don't think you have to be in safe mode to do that, but there was some other process that was stopping me, so I did it in safe mode)
7. Tried to update Origin in safe mode
8. Tried creating an administrator account with this method (I don't recommend doing this, because now I have an admin account that I can't delete)
.Open cmd as an administrator
..Type "net user administrator /active:yes" (no quotes)
...Reboot
