Any program running at startup that requests admin privileges will be
blocked each time at startup until you give permission for it. There are
some options. First is to question why it has to run each time at startup.
Seems like a waste of resources. I update programs periodically and don't
let them do it automatically except for the AV program. So one option is to
remove it from running at startup. Another option is to check with the
program author for a version that doesn't need admin privileges. There's no
reason why an autoupdater should need admin privileges.

Here is another option, run it as a scheduled task.
