@xeeqan3ku4og I do not use the Smooth Patch mod, if you run the mod exe (assuming it has a different .exe) as admin, it will likely be okay since it's likely just needing that to overwrite functions, I think the bigger emphasis is on the compatibility mode itself between OS versions.
Turning the compatibility mode off is simply a matter of unchecking the top option in the properties tab where you would also enable the default running of the exe as admin. I don't know how to explain this that well, if you can select an OS for compatibility mode, it is not off, if you can't, it is off.
Edit: If you have the latest version of the Smooth Patch mod (with the LD Launcher) you don't need to run admin, based off my quick analysis running it that way, seems to still work just fine, and wow, do certain things run smoother with it. Just make sure you have the latest updated version so it works properly with the new EA Launcher. If I come across any issues in my longer analysis, I will let you know!
I use the smooth patch for steam.
But I'm still having difficulties getting the game to run without issue. Though it's definitely not the patch's fault, my game just seems super stubborn.
I do wish we had some kind of clear guide but seeing as many of the issues come and go at different times for different people, that might not be possible
