“Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device” EA app

When pressing either desktop shortcut or the EA  app on the taskbar it asks me that question “Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device” Once if I am lucky but it asks it twice usually. Ive ran it as administrator I have tried reinstalling I even lowered uac settings a bit and it is still happening. This hasn’t happened before and I have been using it for a while and its just now a problem.
It’s starting to annoy me. I need a fix please.

     What happens if you just click on "Yes"/"OK"? And does it ask for this every time you boot the client?

    I see. In that case, it’s good that it opens -- but not so great that it asks for it every single time you launch the client. May I ask, are you running Windows or macOS? And which version?

    You can check your Windows version in a few quick ways:

    1. Press Windows key + I to open Settings.
    2. Go to SystemAbout.
    3. Under Windows specifications, you’ll see:
      • Edition (e.g., Windows 10/11 Pro)
      • Version (e.g., 22H2)
      • OS build

    Method 2: Using WinVer

    1. Press Windows key + R to open Run.
    2. Type winver and hit Enter.
    3. A window will appear, displaying your Windows version and build number.

    Method 3: Using System Information

    1. Press the Windows key and type System Information.
    2. Open it.
    3. Look for OS Name and Version in the summary.
