Describe the bug

Hi, I am trying to install / run Modrinth App on my son's user account, which is a Standard User account on Windows, not at Administrator. I used to be able to install and run it, but recent updates have crippled the app on his account. I can log into my Administrator account and install it there and run it, but as soon as I log into my son's account, the app will not load. If I try to run it as Admin, it will throw an error about being unable to apply migrations, and the app will freeze. If I try to install the app on my son's account as an administrator, it will install, but the app will refuse to start.

Thanks.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a Standard User account
  2. Try to install Modrinth App
  3. Install will fail without admin privileges
  4. Retry by running as Administrator
  5. App will install
  6. Try to run app
  7. App will not start

Expected behavior

The app should install under a Standard User account by prompting for Admin rights, but then it should install correctly, and the app should run without admin rights.
