Hi,

in day to day work I am working under a regular user account without administrative permissions. When I try to open the Portmaster UI from this account using "Run as administrator" the UI does not open. I see a elevation prompt. After authentication with a administrative user the Portmaster UI windows frame is shortly displayed then immediately closed. Portmaster was installed via winget with scope machine. I do not know any other application which I cannot "Run as administrator" from an unpriviliged account

With the latest 1.6.24 Beta the behaviour has changed. It still does not work but now shows the attached error message. Can I somehow change the locations which Portmaster uses to store data?
