Administrative privileges?

I recently down loaded a game to my lap top and when I click the icon it gives me a "Please login with administrative privileges and try again" message. I am the only user on this computer and have administrative privileges. Any ideas as to what I need to do to resolve the issue? Thanks in advance!

Welcome to TenForums @mark1220

Although you are signed in with an account that is an administrator, for safety reasons most of the time you are running applications with only standard user rights. This is why sometimes you are prompted with something like 'you need administrator rights to do this, press OK to continue as an administrator'.

Try right-clicking on the icon and use 'Run as administrator'.

You might have some kind of "permission" issues. But, I am no expert.

Use this tutorial and install Run As Admin to your right click context menu.
Add or Remove Run as administrator Context Menu in Windows 10

That done, RIGHT click at the icon or the game's exe file, do you see the Run As Administrator option ?
If yes, will the game start running if you click Run As Admin ?

Thanks for the suggestions.
