@ITurner_Anzac It's definitely strange, but permissions can get broken and other data corrupted, often for no identifiable reason. If you want to keep trying to fix your current account, let me know, but you could also just use the new account instead.
One common cause of an admin account not running a game is a nonstandard character (a special symbol, an accent, etc.) in the username. So if your username has one, you can try changing it; that would be an easy fix. Otherwise, it can be a bit more difficult to find the root cause.
@puzzlezaddict I am quite ok using another account, not a problem as I think otherwise it will continue to be a headache!! I'm wondering if it's because I set up my PC with my old hotmail account which is now outlook live, so my account name is my email address even though it just says my name when I login. Who nows?!
Thank you so so much for all your help with this, I will know what to do if anything like this happens again! :D

@ITurner_Anzac It's possible the @ in your account name is causing this trouble, although I don't know why it would be a problem some of the time but not otherwise. Origin can be weird like that.
