Overwolf asks for admin rights

The Overwolf app asks for admin rights, but I already granted them. Why?

Most likely, Overwolf wasn’t fully exited.
Steps:
  1. Exit Overwolf via system tray or Task Manager (not just X)
  2. Close your game
  3. Run Overwolf as admin
  4. Launch the app, check if the error is gone
  5. If not, try again — one step likely failed
This fixes 99% of admin permission issues.
