Apollo and Moonlight game streaming help

I need some help troubleshooting my game streaming setup. I’m currently running Apollo on my PC and using Moonlight on my ROG Ally X, but I’m running into two issues.

First, every time I launch Moonlight on my handheld, I get this pop up on my PC. Moonlight still launches on my handheld with no issues other than possibly relating to my second issue, but on the PC side I keep noticing this pop up. Does anyone know what causes this or how to fix it?

Second, the image quality on the Ally X looks kind of washed out compared to when I use PXPlay to stream from my PS5 Pro. The colors and overall picture quality just don’t look nearly as sharp or vibrant.

Does anyone have recommendations for the best Moonlight/Apollo settings for better image quality, more vibrant colors or HDR (I do have HDR toggle on, but it doesn’t seem like it’s working correctly), bitrate and resolution settings, or anything else I need to change?

Also, if anyone has fixed this pop up issue before, I’d really appreciate the help.

Quick computer question. I finally received my computer, but I noticed it was shipped with the wrong SSD. It came with a 1TB instead of the 2TB I ordered. Since they wanted the 1TB returned before sending the correct 2TB, I cloned the drive, replaced the SSD, and everything seems to be running correctly.

The only issue is that when I try to uninstall programs like Macrium, Norton, and a couple other apps I installed or don’t need, I get an error message, saying, “You need permission to perform this action”
“You require permission from Administrators to make changes to this folder.” I’m wondering if I messed something up during the cloning process.

I really don’t want to reinstall the original SSD just to test it because getting the screw back in was a huge pain. I watched a few videos and saw something about changing the administrator permissions, but I haven’t tried that yet, and if it does work am I going to have to do this whole process eveytime I delete an app?

Do you think I missed something during the clone, or is this something I’m going to have to deal with every time I uninstall an app?
