Program keeps asking for administrator permission to run
Windows is checking whether you trust the program before letting it run. You need to allow it once, or run it as administrator, or change its compatibility settings so Windows stops asking. The quickest fix is to click Yes when Windows asks and check 'Remember my choice' so it stops asking.
Windows has a security system that asks permission before letting a program make changes to your system. Some programs trigger this check every time they start. You can fix this by giving permission once and telling Windows to remember your choice, or by running the program in compatibility mode. This is a safety feature — Windows is making sure the program is something you actually want to run.
