Well, the only issue is that you've essentially shut off all UAC notifications for your whole computer to get rid of the nags over running these two programs as an Admin.
Whether or not that's an acceptable risk is for you to decide, but it certainly would be best if we could resolve the underlying issue that's requiring you to run them as an Admin in the first place.
You haven't posted the results of a DxDiag test, but your signature shows that you're running Win10. Here on the forum there have been quite a few seemingly unrelated issues caused by the upgrade process of that OS, particularly if the upgrade was done around when it was released in late July.
3 suggestions come to mind, two which may help and the 3rd certainly will. The first is to run
sfc /scannow from an Admin-level command prompt and see if Windows can detect and repair the issue. You can search for posts from me on the forum for more info.
I don't know what version of Win10 you have, but at this point I assume its "th2" (build 10586). If not, you can check to see if there are any updates waiting to be downloaded or installed.
The second option would be to contact Cyberlink tech support with the details and see if they can get things fixed. If you do that, it would be really helpful if you could post their instructions here once everything is working.
The final option is to use the
Reset this PC tool, which will fully reinstall Win10 with all your existing apps in place. It may sound fairly drastic, but it actually only takes 10-15 minutes and should completely fix everything.
With your situation, I'd actually want to remove PD14 before using the
Reset this PC tool so we can be sure that Win10 is fully functional before adding PD14 to the mix. The best way to check is to run the DxDiag tool and look to see if there are any errors listed at the bottom of the report. Errors with WindowsUpdate or WindowsDefender are bad news and they may exist right now, but a solid reinstall should show no errors there.
From that point on, installing PD14 and patching it to the latest version should run normally without any need for Admin-level permissions.
You have several choices here, and it's entirely up to you to decide whether to keep things as they are or move forward with any of the other options.
