These are 2 different errors.

"Starting the client as Admin" will save config files with admin rights.
If you later try to use the client as user, then you can't overwrite files that a writen with admin rights.
(In case you don't have a userprofile in windows and you are using windows as admin, ignore the warning)


A desync means, you have different game files than the other players.
To fix a desync you need to redownload game and mod files.

Delete all your mods and clear the directory "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\gamedata"
Then redownload the gamefiles (host a FAF game) and redownload your mods.
