I don't see anything in your setup that should cause any issues with Icaros. When enabled, Icaros thumbnailing and properties actually affects the entire system, that is all user accounts. That's the way Microsoft designed it. So enabling thumbnailing and/or properties on your admin account, should make them work on both your accounts.
The Icaros Cache is a bit different, it's linked to the current logged in user account. So it should be set up separately on each account. And please note, the Icaros Cache can't be located on a network drive. It's not supported at the moment.
I've just tested all of the above on a fresh install of Windows 11 and it worked as expected. I will admit that there is a bug when installing Icaros on the second account. In my case it deactivated Icaros, which of course it shouldn't. I'll investigate that for sure.
Overall I can't reproduce your issue, so I will probably need more information, if you're still having problems.

I've been using Icaros previously on Windows 7 and just updated Windows 10. I have my system set up where I have an administrator account but I use a non-administer account for normal operations. So I have access to administer credentials if asked but even so Icaros doesn't seem to have any effect in the non-admin account. It works fine in the admin account but making any changes in the Icaros config panel has no effect when logged in to the non-admin account. Strangely when I first installed icaros on the non-admin account and activated it it would load embedded cover art thumbnails for roughly half of my video files but not all. File properties don't work at all. I've tried building the database in the admin account and saving it in the same folder that is accessible from both accounts but the non-admin account still won't use the database. All the video files are stored an a secondary drive that is fully accessible from both accounts with read/write privileges. Is there any way to make this work?
