If you find the downloading of your game is stuck and not progressing further, close Steam, Origin, etc., where you are downloading the game, and then restart your PC. Once your PC is restarted, launch the Steam or Origin and try to download the game again.
Pause the Download
This is the easiest way to fix this bug. Players, whenever they face this problem, cancel the download and restart it from the beginning. But that’s not what you should do.

This can be applied to Steam, Origin, EA Play, and every platform you use.
Check the Anti-virus of your PC

Windows Security App> Virus and Threat Protection> Manage Settings> Exclusion> Add or remove exclusions> Add exclusions> Select Folder> add Steamapp folders or Origin folder (where you download Origin games)> Pause the download on Steam or Origin> Restart it.
