    The only time any launcher ever had administrator-like rights is while updating. Don’t know why you would run them as admin.

      That’s literally what the launchers do, they try check for updates every time you start the game. It’s going to prompt for admin rights every time a windows user runs it, without fail. How many of them run with no errors without the rights given, I’m not sure.
