A normal user(not admin) login into a machine and launch an application with webview2 and it fails to initialize the userdata folder. The user data folder is set in "localAppdata" folder. The application will run as admin(a UAC popup will show). The errror is access denied for the data folder(when the application is elevated as admin, the user data folder changes to the administrator's data folder)

Hi @namilantu, I could use some more information about your app. Please let me know what windows version, runtime number, app type (uwp vs win32 vs .net). If this is UWP, it could be that the user data folder you set, might be outside app container bounds.

Hi @jasonstephen15 , my windows version is Windows 10 Enterprise 21H2. This is an application based on .net framework.4.7.1. This is a win32 wpf application.
