Aida64 Strange Behaviour After Switching to Standard User Account

I switched my Microsoft account on Windows 11 from an administrator to a standard user by creating a local administrator account, but since then Aida64 (the portable version) has been behaving a bit oddly.

Firstly it does not ask for admin rights when launching the program anymore, when running a benchmark it no longer warns me about a hypervisor being present even though it still is and when updating the program it fails to open again seemingly because of a lack of admin rights that it failed to request.  I had to manually run it as administrator for it to open again after updating.

I also noticed on one occasion it froze after I opened it and stopped responding before closing itself (although this has only happened once).

Do I need to download a clean portable version of Aida64 or is some of this expected behaviour?

I have a 5800X3D, Gigabyte X570 Master, Nvidia RTX 3080 FE Seagate Firecuda 530 1TB NVME SSD and Windows 11 Pro 23H2 and I'm using Gsync on my LG C1 48" TV.

Edit: please move to bug reports, I posted in general discussion by mistake.

It'd be best if you could reinstall AIDA64 using the user account you prefer to use AIDA64 with.  Without administrator privileges you will lose quite a bit of functionality though, so I'd still use it as a local admin.
