Describe the bug

Hi,

So when during installation, I chose "C:\Program Files (x86)" as the installation directory. Afterwards, I created a shortcut to the Windows Subsystem for Android app by moving it from the start menu to the public desktop folder of my admin account.

But when I log into my non-admin account and double click the Windows Subsystem for Android app icon on the desktop, it doesn't open?

Steps to reproduce the issue

Expected behaviour

Should be able to open Windows Subsystem for Android app in non-admin account

"C:\Program Files (x86)" is a special folder where you need admin rights to do most things. Same goes for "C:\Program Files" and "C:\" (the root directory). You should try installing on a custom folder like "C:\WSA".

If you really need to install on "C:\Program Files (x86)", you can try to mess with the security tab, although I haven't tried it on somewhere like this folder.
