Why Origin ask for admin permission

★★★★ Apprentice

When I launch origin in a non-admin account, it request admin privileges, but still continue normal when I deny it

Of course, to download and install a game, ask again for admin privileges and I accept

 

My question is why to run Origin, need admin  privileges?

 

NOTE: Im the only person than use this pc, but for safety browsing internet, I have 2 accounts, an admin and a non-admin (than is the most used)

Hey @leo3487 when running programs such as Origin you need to grant it certain permissions so that itbcan download and install your games. All programs and apps that make changes to your system will require such permissions.
