    @83AnimaL83 This message seems to also pop up if you are running Origin with Admin rights. If you wish that to stop, you can disable this if you right click the Origin.exe file (default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin), select 'Properties' and then 'Compatibility' tab - make sure that 'Run this program as an admin.' is unticked.

I have this exact problem, after origin made its last update i now get this message, I don't use a short cut, i use the start with windows option provided by origin, i have checked all options for "compatibility mode" and they are not in use,

    while not running it as administrator works for stopping the popup from appearing, it doesn't make sense, it's not compatibility mode and a popup should not appear. It should be possible to run in admin mode without a compatibility popup bugging you.
