Each time you start SWTOR, a User Account Control message appears asking if you want to allow the program to start.

Here I explain how you can deactivate this.

 

Prerequisite: You must be logged in as administrator when you start the game.

 

 

1. Press the Windows Key + R (at the same time) and type "taskschd.msc" (without "") in the inputbox

2. On the left click on "Task Scheduler Library"

3. Right-click in the middle and select "Create New Task"

4. Type in the textbox Name "SWTOR" (without "")

5. Check "Run with highest privileges".

7. Type into "Program/Script" (Default):

for 32bit: "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Bioware\Star Wars-The old Republic\launcher.exe" (with "")

for 64bit: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Bioware\Star Wars-The old Republic\launcher.exe" (with "")

If you have saved SWTOR in another location, please enter it.

13. Start SWTOR in the future with the new shortcut.

 

I hope, it helped you!
