I also updated to w10 fron 8.1 with Origin and DAI installed already. But had no problems apart from DAI starting in window mode which is slightly annoying.
Anyway you shouldn't need to use compatibility mode.. it works fine for me without it.
Also I have noticed that W10 kinda forces HD power down on you so if you have origin games folder on another drive.. it might be in standby when Origin launches and so it takes some time to refresh the games list.
I would also say try installing the game on your primary drive to see if that helps..
if you can't find Origin in the add/remove programs.. did you find the OriginUninstall.exe file and use that? Location : Program Files / (x86) > Origin > OriginUninstall.exe
If you get it un-installed you can try re-installing from fresh. But you could use a program called Revo Uninstaller or CCleaner to do a clean uninstall first.
I reckon try changing the "Origin Games" location though to your primary drive may sort it. If it does you can manually copy over the files from the old location..
I am running it without compatibility mode, however it launches saying that it is running in compatibility mode, regardless of if I have the box in the program properties checked to do so. So the issue isn't as simple as not running it in compatibility mode. Because it Auto runs with it enabled.
The problem with reinstalling the game is that I literally don't have a download queued when trying to download, so it is impossible for me to download the game to another drive. And even if I were to move it I wouldn't be able to verify that the game is still on my system, just in another download location because the system will queue it and never run a verification or repair. So I can't install it on my primary drive.
The program executable is where it is supposed to be along with all the other game files, however the system does not detect Origin at all even after reinstallation. That being said I havn't done as thorough of a clean like using CCleaner or Revo Uninstaller. I didn't want to have to use Hirens just to work out an origins issue.
Lastly origin itself is installed on my primary hard drive already, the only thing that isn't on my primary hard drive is my game library. But I appreciate the suggestion. The only thing here I might be able to do is a complete reinstall ill give CCleaner a shot once I'm done with my class work and let yall know how that goes.

so, did you found out what triggers that compatiblity mode message? I've upgraded to Windows 10 as soon as i could, and since then I've had that "problem"... nothing changes on the program or games, everything runs fine. Only problem is that message showing up...

I've been having almost the same problem, except, I already had everything updated and installed for a while.
I had no problem for several months, then, just recently the "btw, compatibility mode" message started coming up.
Now my Inquisition game freezes while I am playing, and I don't seem to be able to actually turn the compatibility mode off.
