Install from within the Creative Cloud application works fine on Windows 7 without prompting for admin rights.

HiHaydenRead ,

The best  possible solution wold be to create a Creative Cloud Desktop Application package with Elevated Rights and then deploy it.

Once done then you can update/install the applications from within Creative Cloud desktop application.

If howsoever you try to update or install Creative cloud desktop application itself you need admin rights for that.

The package has been created with Elevated Rights, and works correctly on Windows 7 to elevate the rights for install, but fails on Windows 10 to Elevate the rights...

Also, on Windows 10, once the admin rights have been entered once, all subsequent installs work successfully without further Admin rights prompts, until the computer is restarted.

HiHaydenRead ,

I am not entirely sure what might be causing this, but i suspect it might be group policy on Windows 10 machines.

One thing is certain that the issue is not with the package, as it is installing fine on Windows 7.
