Can't update NFS Heat keep getting windows blocked pop up

Trying to update NFS Heat and I get this message

 

 Oops… Windows blocked our attempt to download game content. If you'd like to allow Origin to download content to your computer, select "Retry" below. When prompted, grant permission within the User Account Control pop-up.

 

I'm not getting this Pop up window to grant control and have changed my user account control to always ask permision and its still not asking for it when I try to update.. 

 

Any ideas or thoughts as I can't update and thus can't play..

Hey @LaughingTimo you may need to lower your UAC settings which you can do by following the steps below: 

Try lowering the User Access Control settings:

  1. Close the Origin client. 
  2. Click the Windowsbutton and type "UAC" in the search field. 
  3. In the User Access Control window, click and hold the slide bar —slide it to the lowest setting available. 
  4. Click Okat the bottom of the window.
  5. Open the Origin client
