Community ManagerHey @Aelaen is your Windows account on your system not have admin privileges?
Darko
Correct, as listed it's a non-admin account. I'm an IT professional - I would never use an administrative account as my base account. I have other user accounts, including a child, and a separate account I use for financials. There's no reason I should have to let a launcher have access to the admin and those other accounts.

Hey @Aelaen if the app requires admin rights to install then you will need to enable this in the account.
DarkoThere is no reason the app needs access to accounts for people who have not bought the games. No reason for it to have access to a minor's account. So I'm trying to find out how to get access to my already purchased games even though the new EA installed requires admin permissions it should not require since it should never be touching those accounts.
Basically, I've already purchased my games - there's no "well we changed the installer and now you have to grant us this access to play them" that's acceptable.
