origin needs to download files and is waiting for your permissions.please choose yes

I try to download and install the game but i keep getting this message: 

"origin needs to download files and is waiting for your permissions.please choose yes when Windows prompts you"

I have all my UAC settings to low and I started Origin with Admin privledges, so I can understand whats happening. Because well I dont see any prompts from Windows and/or Origin

    Solution that worked for me. Changing all kind of settings doesn't help if you don't re-install Origin. The problem is that you only receive prompts when installing Origin, after that nothing will solve the problem. So you'll first have to change the UAC-settings:

    1. Set your notification slider al the way up in user account settings (you shouldn't have to when you're an administrator but well)

    2. Uninstall en re-install Origin

    3. When installing Origin you will get prompted with various UAC notifications.

    4. Open origin and then you can hopefully download the game.
