I have strange issue on windows 10. My account has adminstrator permissons but installations of many softwares fails. For example, I can't install discord even after running installer as administrator. Some other web apps install and I can start them but nothing renders. If I log into built-in administrator account then I am able to install discord and web apps also render there. After installing discord, if I come back to my main account, I can't start discord anymore. I have to go into adminstrator account and use its shortcut to launch discord. Many similar issues are happening for me. I feel like this is some kind of file permission issue? How can I solve it? Let me know if I need to provide any other information.

Thanks, not sure if that helped but I couldn't make it work on existing account. I created new Local account from "Computer Management" and now everything works. Thanks!
