  It's likely the difference between www and non-www domains. The error suggests that your config is using www..com as your primary site URL, yet the error suggests that you've logged in at the non-www version:
  
  `... to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://www.xxx.com/ ...`
  
  `... from origin 'https://xxx.com' ...`
  
  Does CP work from the www variant of the URL? If so, I'd just add some .htaccess directives to ensure that your site is always served from your preferred URL (i.e. with www, or without www).
  
  *Irrelevant aside*: I really wouldn't be using xxx.com as example domains... I had an account manager once send an email to a client with that in it, meaning as a placeholder for something. Client clicked on the URL that the mail client decided was best to render, which didn't go down well...
