So a few weeks ago i was able to open and use origin, the ea game program.
But today it won't let me open it, giving me error messages. So i tried to uninstall it with basic windows uninstaller, but the program is not even there.

i then tried to uninstall it will CCleaner but it gave me some error message saying i dont have admin privilages to remove it or the file doesnt exist. same error message when going to C drive and trying to just delete the whole folder as well.

i then right clicked the file and when to properties and then security tab to try and edit permissions to give "full control" to all users so i can remove it, but getting an error message which wont allow me to give "full control".

edit: just went to security again, and clicked add, then everyone, and full control, but then i get "an error occurred while applying security information" "failed to enumerate objects in the container. access is denied."

no idea whats going on, any suggestions? i am on the only user account for this pc

i guess i fixed it? just went to user account control settings and changed it to "never notify" then restarted my pc and now i was able to completely delete the file. in the process of installing my games now... no idea what caused this issue in the first place
