How to fix igoproxy64.exe errors

If you’re getting an IGOProxy64.exe error when you’re starting a game or the Origin (EA app) client, then apply the solutions in this guide to fix it. IGOProxy64.exe is part of the gaming client but also from the Visual C++ Redistributables package. We have experienced this error when starting BattleFront 3 so here’s how you fix it.

How do I fix IGOProxy64.exe errors on Windows?

1. Repair Microsoft Visual C++

  1. Open the browser of your choice and the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable download page.
  2. Download the latest versions for X86 and X64.
  3. Go to the download folder and run them one by one. If you don’t have Visual C++ installed, let the installer work its magic, restart your PC, and start Origin again to see if the IGOProxy64.exe error persists.
  4. If you already have Visual C++ installed, click on the two files and hit the Repair button.

This is the safest way to fix any IGOProxy64.exe errors. Installing or repairing Visual C++ will also repair or replace the file causing this issue.

If you get the Visual C++ Runtime error on Windows 11, this guide will help you deal with the problem.

2. Provide IGOProxy64.exe with administrative rights

  1. Press the Windows key + E to start File Explorer.
  2. Go to the folder where IGOProxy64.exe is located. Usually, you will find it here: C:\Program Files (86)\Origin
  3. Right-click on the IGOProxy64.exe file and select Properties.
  4. Go to the Compatibility tab, and check the Run as administrator box.
  5. Hit Apply and OK to acknowledge the change.
  6. Open Origin or your game to see if the error still pops up.

3. Reinstall the Origin (EA app) client

  1. Click the Start button and access Settings.
  2. Choose Apps from the left pane and click on Installed apps from the right.
  3. Find the Origin or the EA app in the list of apps, click on the three dots from its right, and select Uninstall.
  4. Now, go to the Electronic Arts website and download a fresh copy of the app.

Reinstalling the EA app is also a quick and easy way to fix the IGOProxy64.exe errors on your PC.

Some of our readers also recommended simply renaming or deleting the file. We tried it as well and it fixed the problem. However, we only advise doing this as a temporary solution.

Also, this problem might be because the Origin client is too old. It was since replaced by the EA app so you should too.
