Describe the Bug

Applications seem to be started as a different (possibly admin) user rather than as the normal user account. The easiest way to notice this is to launch Playnite, which complains that it is being launched with elevated privileges every time it is launched.

Expected Behavior

The applications are launched as the normal user with no additional privileges.

Additional Context

I was able to work around this by changing the service to run as my normal user. It looks like the service is launching sub processes as the system user rather than correctly dropping the permissions to whatever the actual user is.
