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

"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.
