"The requested operation requires elevation" on file download

Moderator Note

This issue is caused by problems with your Permissions inside your Program Files folder. To fix it, start Minecraft as an Administrator.

When i launch my minecraft launcher, it acts normal. However,when i hit play,it show the files downloading, but then gives me this error

Unable to start Java.
Error details: The requested operation requires elevation
Filename on disk: javaw.exe
Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\runtime\jre-x64\1.8.0_25\bin\javaw.exe
Exists: file

I mean,what am i supposed to do. I have tried messing with all sorts of things, including the actual javaw file. >😞 If you at mojang cant fix this,i want my money back, i was working on a custom command that i spent hours on, and this is pretty annoying.
