    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.

        I can personally confirm: No, it does not.

          Bro.

          It’s not gonna prompt after it finds out there are updates to install.

          Are you dudes installing things to AppData, lmao?

            Most of my things aren’t even installed on the same drive as AppData.
