[Comment Removed - Admin.] whoever made this Origin launcher, please hear my plea as origin keeps trying to run in the background and unselecting chrome every minute, making sure its really annoying
So! I got Sim4 because its free this week. Tried to install it, says i needed permission. An hour later of troubleshooting and I got it to work! And by work I mean it went straight into the queue and then stayed there. So had to stop it and make another attempt at fixing it by deleteing everything in the cache and turn on safe mode
NOW IT SAYS I NEED PERMISSION AGAIN. My UAC notifs are on annoyingly full blast. I already uninstalled and reinstalled it.

Bit of an odd one @Steggydon, would you mind taking a look at this help article and trying the steps listed: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/origin/origin/my-game-downloaded-through-origin-but-will-not-install/
Try running Origin as an administrator:
This runs the Origin client as an administrator account, and should let the game install.
Try lowering the User Access Control settings:
Let me know how you get on.
