This is a Windows issue, and can only be answerd on Microsoft forums.
As for your issue, I would suggest to look into "UAC" first.

My solution was to right click oracle and select properties >Compatibility Tab >than check were it Said’s run this program as an administrator. So now anytime that I start oraclevm it automatically starts as a admin

Good, glad you sorted it out. As noteirak said, it was a Windows issue.
