    They need admin permissions to install, not to launch.

    But, you know, so does basically any other application you install.

    You may get a second pop-up when it begins installing the anti-cheat, but that depends on how the application is configured.

    Ubisoft Connect gives me three (!) separate pop-ups whenever it has an update. (or at least it used to).

        This is more or less what I was getting at. Windows UAC triggers so often with no context that’s its really just an annoying popup to most users. You need to pass the same UAC prompts to installing Excel as to install a root kit or a compromised software package.
