How to Run Apex Legends as Administrator
Just setting it to run as admin once isn't always enough. Go into the properties of the ApexLegends.exe file (right-click > Properties), head over to the 'Compatibility' tab, and check the box that says 'Run this program as an administrator.' Apply the changes. This way, it always runs with admin privileges, saving you the right-click every time you want to play.

Easy peasy! Right-click on the Apex Legends desktop shortcut and select 'Run as administrator.' If you don't have a shortcut, navigate to where Apex Legends is installed, right-click on the ApexLegends.exe file, and choose 'Run as administrator' from there. This gives it all the permissions it might need to run smoothly without hiccups.
Real talk, I've been running Apex without admin rights and it works perfectly. Might not even be necessary unless you're hitting specific issues.
Honestly, just make sure you're the admin of your PC and most games, including Apex, will run fine without needing to do anything special.
