The disk was formatted and windows was reinstalled. SFC /Scannow was run anyway after reviewing system event log.

For arguments sake 🙂

C:\Windows\System32>sfc /scannow

Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

      My account is admin, security policies on all client executables and game executables are set to run elevated.

      I really don't like Origin on my C:\ for security reasons.

      Obviously windows is a fresh install, and Origin had to be installed for the registry keys to be merged.

        The account having administrator rights and actually running a program with administrator rights are two different things so please try starting Origin as shown, can't hurt to try 🙂

        If you have any of the games or any of the games installed in the root of a drive and not inside an extra folder like "D:/OriginGames/BF4/" or "E:/Programs/Origin/ then that can give issues. For troubleshooting you might want to try installing Origin and the games in the default locations ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 etc. ) to rule out permission issues like these.

        I don't know what you mean by the registry keys being "merged".
