I know I'm responding to a dated thread but still wanted to comment due to some very bad advice above...

 

 

 

What bad advice would that be?

 

 

Disabling UAC. That's generally speaking not a good idea unless you're fully aware of the (possible) risks you're taking. Thing is: depending on the user (and the situation) it could lead up to things suddenly working again after which a user could consider to leave it turned off because "things started working again".

 

And that's not a good idea.

i don't think anyone did advise to disable UAC, rather the contrary, we were asking if the OP had UAC disabled, and if so, to enable it. The OP decided that this wasn't a good option for them, and was going to transition back to NMM. Their choice of course.

I haven't used NMM in a while myself, (due to not playing any of my modded games). I've just seen this error message myself for the first time, I have 1 account on my PC and that account is Administrator. I just want to know if this is going to cause me any undue harm that anyone knows of? Running Win10 64-bit.

Are you using NMM currently, or are you using Vortex? That's not clear. If the former, please take your issue to a Nexus Mod Manager support forum. This is the Vortex Support Forum. If you are using Vortex, do not run it as an administrator.

 

As for your Windows question, having an Administrator account does not mean that you automatically run every program as administrator. Rather, an Administrator account gives you the authority to run a program as administrator, if you need to do so.
