EA Play Desktop administator priviledge?
New to EA Play with GamePass PC. Why my game ask for administrator priviledge? I am the administrator of my system. Game is C&C Remastered
Forum Discussion
I'd like to add to the large EA play thread that I am also having this issue.
I have gamepass and I link my account to EA Play and it keeps saying Admin needed, I have tried everything from a new local admin account, to no UAC controls, it wont launch. I want to play the product I own. Thanks.
I've tried every solution possible from new local accounts, reinstalling, removing admin, adding admin, checking exe files etc

Hi @GGZII,
I have merged your topic with the main thread about the administrator privileges.
When you try to start the CnC Remaster, what exactly happens? Do you get to see the pop-up where you can press OK to give permission to the app to make changes? Did you press OK or Cancel?
I'm on Windows 11 now, I didn't test the new version.
For me on W10 I had a prompt for admin. Later the prompt didn't work, so no game. After that the prompt worked again.
Now on W11.
Age of Empire had the same behavior (admin) on GamePass. It was fixed and it is not required anymore.
I'm currently having the same issue with CnC and have tried everything that has been suggested on this thread.
The game still says I need administrator privileges to launch, then follows up with "your game failed to launch".
We would love for a fix as it seems people have had the issue for several months and somehow it hasn't had a major fix yet.

Have you also tried creating a new Administrator account on Windows and then running the EA app as an administrator followed by running CnC as an administrator @ToastOfToasty?
