EA App & Windows Privileges

Lately, when i go to launch a game from the EA App it asks me if I will allow it to do so with Administrative privileges when the app didnt ask for that previously. So far its been two or three of the installed games that cause this. Is there anyway that i can force the app to stop asking that question?

Pls see attached screenshot

Setting your Windows User Account to have Admin. privileges should help, thanks.

Hello,
I have been playing SimCity for a while now, all of a sudden, its asking for administrative privileges to launch the game
Why is it asking this all of a sudden?
and does the game need administrator privileges to what files my pc?
Thank you
Have a great day
